Bolder Advocacy

In August 2015, Alliance for Justice’s Bolder Advocacy Initiative released an updated report offering a glimpse into how nonprofit organizations view their capacity for public policy work. The report is based on data from the first 280 groups to complete AFJ’s online self-assessment tool, the Advocacy Capacity Tool and builds on our findings from the first 100 groups.

Launched in 2012, the ACT! asks groups to rate their strengths and weaknesses in more than a dozen categories that are integral to effective advocacy. While the findings are in no way intended to be an exhaustive survey of the field of nonprofit advocacy, they are what statisticians call “practically significant.”
