Nonprofit Advocacy and Influence with Bethany Snyder

Advocacy is a key tool for nonprofits aiming to influence policy and secure funding. However, many nonprofits often struggle to prepare their teams for effective advocacy due to a lack of resources or knowledge about where to focus their efforts.

In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, I’m joined by Bethany Snyder, a renowned expert in nonprofit advocacy and the founder of Snyder Strategies. Bethany brings over two decades of experience in empowering nonprofit organizations to effectively influence policy and drive meaningful change.

With the 2024 elections on the horizon, Bethany urges nonprofit leaders to recognize their potential influence and not shy away from advocacy. She highlights the importance of stepping up and making their voices heard in policy discussions.
