Description

This episode offers a powerful example of how funders and nonprofits can collaborate and advocate to reform government contracting, so that it works better for the nonprofit sector and the nonprofit workforce.


You’ll learn how Mercedes Elizalde (Board member of the Nonprofit Association of Oregon), Felicita Monteblanco (Northwest Health Foundation) and others teamed up to advocate for state contracting reform, and how that resulted in them serving as members of the Governor’s Modernizing Grant Funding and Contracting Task Force.


Our powerful guests will help you gain an understanding of:



  • How the nonprofit community can educate and influence our state governments;

  • Advocacy strategies and tactics for influencing government; and

  • Lessons-learned on the challenges and opportunities of legislative approaches to systems change.
