Raise the Nonprofit Profile

The Primary Project was started in 2006 to engage every presidential candidate in a dialogue about the impact and future of the nonprofit sector. The project is now expanding from the presidential campaign to the multitude of federal, state, and local elections that are just around the corner.

Goals:

• To enable those running for elected positions to hear the voice of the nonprofit movement: how we serve our communities, the needs we hear, and our potential to partner in solutions.
• To enable nonprofits to know where candidates stand on nonprofit issues and strengthening the sector.
• To build awareness that issues affecting the nonprofit sector belong in all candidates' platforms.
• To alert candidates that the voices of nonprofit clients matter in elections.
