Description: 

Every election season, many nonprofits go quiet, convinced that any engagement is illegal, too risky, or outside their lane. But while your organization stays on the sidelines, elections are actively shaping the funding streams, policy priorities, and community conditions your mission depends on. Silence isn't neutral. It's a missed opportunity.

The reality is that nonprofits can legally do far more during election season than most realize. This webinar will cut through the fear and confusion to show you exactly what's possible. Most election training focuses only on compliance and what you can't do. This one focuses on opportunity and what you can.

During this session, Bethany Snyder will show you practical, nonpartisan strategies you can use for engaging candidates, educating voters, mobilizing supporters, and positioning your organization as a trusted community leader when it matters most. 

You'll learn how to:

• distinguish what nonprofits can legally do during election season from common misconceptions that keep organizations on the sidelines;
• engage candidates and elected officials as part of a long-term advocacy strategy;
• conduct nonpartisan voter education and registration efforts that align with your mission;
• mobilize your supporters and deepen community relationships through election engagement; and,
• position your organization as a trusted civic leader to build long-term influence.

You'll walk away understanding how your organization can responsibly engage in democracy-building efforts that strengthen your advocacy power for years to come.

Who should attend: 

This webinar is ideal for nonprofit leaders, executive directors, and advocacy staff who want to strengthen their organization's civic presence, engage supporters more effectively, and finally understand how nonprofits can participate in elections legally and strategically.
