A NEW BOOK FOR 501(c)(3) FOUNDERS, ADVOCATES, LEADERS & PROFESSIONALS
Learn How To Change and Create Laws That Benefit Your Community
In this simple guide, you'll learn little-known facts about your nonprofit's power to change public policy for the better and the steps you can take to do it “worry-free” (without jeopardizing your tax-exempt status or paying lobbying penalties).
PLUS: We'll show you how to write a BILL PROPOSAL — one of the most effective tools for turning grassroots ideas into concrete, actionable legislative solutions to real-world problems.
Are you a nonprofit professional with a desire to create long-term systemic change in your community?
Don't limit yourself to only providing direct services, stop letting “politics” intimidate you, and gain the courage you need to pursue a “macro-mission.” All the information you need to break out of fear is in this simple book!
This book will revolutionize the way you think about nonprofit lobbying by:
- Destroying decades-old myths that have stopped nonprofits from participating in policy-making;
- Explaining the laws that allow nonprofits to do a significant amount of lobbying without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status or breaking lobbying laws;
- Providing step-by-step guidance on how to find the laws that impact your community and create a plan for how to change them; and
- Showing you how to gain leverage in the legislative process by using a tool that large corporations and special interest groups use all the time – a BILL PROPOSAL.
DISCLAIMER: This book is not for advocates looking for tips on the best lobbying strategies. There are already a number of books by seasoned lobbyists and strategy consultants who can give you all the inside scoop on connecting with legislators and negotiating with stakeholders.
But if you’re overwhelmed with the idea of lobbying, and you’re looking for a guide that will show you what resources and tools you should have in place before even contacting your first legislator (or hiring a lobbyist to do it for you) — you’ve come to the right place!

What Others Are Saying:
"This book is a game changer for nonprofit staff and volunteers. So many (most) nonprofit people believe that is against the law to lobby. Yet, to truly have an impact, nonprofits need to lobby. This book makes a strong case for lobbying and guides readers through how to be effective in lobbying to address the injustices and inequalities they work every day to improve. It's on the list of books I recommend all nonprofit staff and volunteers read if they want to effectively meet their missions."
Libby V. , Nonprofit Consultant
"The Nonprofit Lobbyist is an essential read for nonprofit executives, board members, funders and supporters. It does a fantastic job of explaining (a) why legislative advocacy is critical to your mission (b) how advocacy is a "force multiplier" for your funding efforts and (c) the basic structure needed to institute an appropriate and successful legislative advocacy initiative. It is an easy read well-supported by fascinating data and case studies to give you "food for thought." I highly recommend it!"
Faye A., IRS Economist
"I gained a wealth of information from The Nonprofit Lobbyist, and I believe it is the go-to guide for nonprofit advocacy teams. It is easy for a general audience to understand, but there may also be a wide audience of social scientists who would be interested in studying in detail the role of nonprofits in lobbying for social change. This book is a perfect one-stop solution for all of these potential readers.”
