Policy & Advocacy
Policy & Advocacy is often the most effective and efficient way to address our region’s toughest challenges—but for many San Mateo County nonprofits, advocacy is not their primary focus. Thrive’s Policy & Advocacy work bridges that gap by monitoring policy developments at the local, state, and federal levels, sharing timely insights through our convenings and communication channels, and advocating with and on behalf of nonprofits to drive positive, community-centered change. By harnessing the collective wisdom and voice of our nonprofit community, Thrive helps translate on-the-ground experience into meaningful policy impact.
