Even by modern standards, 2024 was a year of major political divisiveness and tension. Now that the anticipation is over, things are settling down and newly elected officials are taking their seats. This transitional period represents a crucial time for you as a 501c3 nonprofit to pack your bag with all the tools you’ll need for effective issue advocacy and voter engagement over the next year.
Remember: EVERY YEAR is an election year and just because we elected a new president in 2024 doesn’t mean there aren’t many other elected officials at every level of government that impact your nonprofit’s mission. Join us to hear from Nonprofit VOTE staff and friends about best practices for voter engagement in a state and local election year like 2025. You’ll hear about ways to engage your comms, development, and programs in voter engagement and advocacy so bring your team and get on track toward building an equitable democracy in 2025!
