Nonprofit organizations, and the human services they provide, are highly dependent on government policy, funding and regulation – at the federal, state and local levels. Policy advocacy and lobbying are considered important, core nonprofit functions. However, in recent years, despite constitutionally protected rights, the number of nonprofits engaging in policy practice has declined dramatically. This trend may adversely affect the provision of needed services as well as the health of the nonprofit sector.
