SUMMARY:Public Webinar: Preparing for Politically Motivated Attacks
DESCRIPTION:The more successful nonprofit advocates become\, the more their organizations are placed under the microscope by individuals and groups who would like to see them fail. Nonprofits (and their staff) are sometimes attacked for political reasons as they engage in successful advocacy and civic engagement efforts\, such as voter registration and education. After this workshop\, you will have a clear understanding of how to identify and prepare for politically motivated attacks. Participants will learn: \n\nHow to identify politically motivated attacks\,\nBest practices for responding to false narratives\,\nHow to protect yourself on social media\, and\nHow to train your staff and volunteers to respond to these situations.

SUMMARY:Public Webinar: Foundation Support for Lobbying and Other Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Private and public foundations can play an important role in advocacy by engaging in advocacy themselves and funding their grantees to advocate on their issues. After this workshop\, your foundation will have a clear understanding of the kinds of advocacy activities you can safely engage in and best practices for grantmaking to give your grantees the most flexibility under the law for their advocacy efforts. Not sure how to make the case for funding advocacy?  Uncertain whether you can fund grantees that lobby?  Wondering whether your public or private foundation can speak out on a particular issue?  This training answers these questions and more! The workshop is designed for foundation staff and trustees. \nParticipants will learn: \n\n Why public and private foundations should support advocacy;\nAn overview of activities that constitute advocacy and public policy work;\nVarious advocacy roles for foundations;\nThe tax code’s definitions of lobbying;\nActivities that are exceptions to the definitions of lobbying\, including those which private foundations can engage in;\nRules for private and public foundation grants to nonprofits that lobby\, including general support\, specific project\, and multi-year grants; and\nGrant agreement language that permits support for policy work.
