NPAction Goals and Objectives

NPAction's primary goal is to increase the level, and improve the quality, of nonprofit public policy participation.

This will be accomplished by:

  1. providing access to information through an online resource center about rules governing policy participation, examples of successful and unsuccessful efforts, identification of key resources and people, and other resource materials;
  2. increasing the awareness of groups already engaging in public policy participation;
  3. enhancing opportunities for building communities of interest among new and emerging and existing public policy participators

Because we do not wish to reinvent the wheel, our approach consists of providing visibility to low-visibility resources, in essence, driving traffic to hard-to-find resources. We also promote and encouraging online collaboration and interaction to highlight existing useful and noteworthy nonprofit resources, while developing information tools to help address questions or issues that arise about advocacy. We seek to partner with as many complimentary online and offline resources as possible, under a framework that allows us to incorporate and share mutual access to content holdings in order to better address existing information gaps.
