Public Policy 411
Faced with policy shifts, executive orders, funding cuts and immediate risks to their missions, nonprofits are in urgent need of up-to-the-minute information and resources. NEW - Solutions for Nonprofits and the Michigan Nonprofit Association have partnered to provide this series of no-cost, public policy webinars to serve as a timely source of information.

The webinars will provide nonprofits with critical information about current policy developments and connect them to ongoing advocacy efforts. Advocacy enables nonprofits to shape the public debate on important social issues and ensure that underserved communities have a voice in the policies that impact their lives.
A huge thank you to the Michigan League for Public Policy and MNA for leading the first two sessions that covered Healthcare and the Nonprofit Sector.
