Civic Engagement & Advocacy
Interested in learning more about our advocacy programs and how your nonprofit can get involved? Complete the brief interest form below and someone from our team will follow up with you.
The goal of our advocacy programs is to increase the capacity of human service nonprofits and the communities they serve to enhance civic engagement and advance inclusive and community-centered policy. Our programs are grounded in principles of equity and addressing imbalances of power in our field and political environment. These efforts are always nonpartisan, and we hold nonpartisanship as a core value of our advocacy work.
As we navigate the effects of a global pandemic, economic downfall, and racial justice uprising, we are presented with the opportunity to be seen and heard in new ways and contribute towards meaningful and sustainable systems change.
We believe that when given the ongoing support and necessary resources to participate in advocacy and voter engagement efforts, human service nonprofits and the communities they serve build power and influence with decision makers and contribute to a more equitable and just society for all.
Participation Project
The Participation Project partners with human service nonprofits by providing guidance, training, and support to assist them in offering nonpartisan voter engagement to their clients and community. Nonprofits can participate in a variety of ways depending on capacity.
Root Causes Network
The Root Causes Network provides a formal and ongoing meeting place for nonprofits to convene, connect with policy makers, and advance their advocacy skills and knowledge.

Tax Credit Outreach
We are proud to be partnering with Get Ahead Colorado to support nonprofits across the state to increase awareness and uptake of tax credits. We provide our nonprofit partners with trainings, materials, and in-person support to share information on the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and free tax-filing resources.
