Great article to define the benefits and need for lobbying. Remember, most non-profits work for public interests versus special interests. For a look at a nonprofit that is fully engaged in the political process, both lobbying and electoral, check out Ocean Champions - the first and only bipartisan political organization focused solely on oceans and ocean wildlife. While it is not a 501 (c)(3), it still is a nonprofit working to advance public policy to restore healthy, thriving oceans. For more information go to http://www.oceanchampions.org
It’s great that advocates can provide the government with the information they need to make the right decisions. My business specializes in environmental issues, and we believe that the government should pay closer attention to our environmental impact. Hiring government advocates seems like a good way to accomplish this.
