Align on Texas nonprofit sector policy principles for 2025 | |
In an effort to strengthen the vital work of Texas nonprofits, we've developed a set of policy principles that guide the sector's advocacy efforts. These principles outline key areas where we believe policymakers can support and empower our nonprofits.
We urge you to review these principles and incorporate them into your own advocacy efforts. Share them with your board members, staff, and volunteers. Engage with your elected officials and let them know that these principles are crucial for a thriving nonprofit sector in Texas. Together, let's ensure that Texas has a strong and vibrant nonprofit ecosystem that can address the critical needs of our communities!
