Criteria for Implementing Advocacy and Public Policy

The following criteria will be used by the Arizona Nonprofit Policy Council in developing the annual public policy agenda, and in considering whether the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits should engage in policy advocacy on a particular issue:

Impact:

Does this issue affect the interests of the entire nonprofit sector in a significant way?

Support:

Is there, or do we reasonably anticipate there will be, a general support among the members of the Alliance on the position to be taken?

Credibility:

Would the Alliance as an organization be perceived as a legitimately concerned and appropriate stakeholder for the position to be taken?
