Welcome to the AdMat Minute, your rundown of public policy issues affecting nonprofits at the local, state, and federal levels. The AdMat Minute is a preview of the stories you can read more about in the full-length Nonprofit Advocacy Matters newsletter. The National Council of Nonprofits (Council of Nonprofits) is a trusted resource and proven advocate for America’s charitable nonprofits. Connecting the policy dots across all levels and branches of governments, the Council of Nonprofits keeps nonprofits informed and empowered to create a positive public policy environment that best supports nonprofits in advancing their missions. Working with and through the nation’s largest network of nonprofits – with 25,000-plus organizational members - we identify emerging trends, share proven practices, and promote solutions that benefit charitable nonprofits and the communities they serve.
