Nonprofit Power Building
Nonprofit Power Building builds nonprofits' capacity to engage in advocacy confidently, legally, and effectively. Through the Nonprofit Advocacy Series with SVCN, organizations gain advocacy fundamentals, practical tools, and strategies to build power and influence policy. This work is complemented by the Nonprofit REDI Hub, a learning and resource hub that supports nonprofits in advancing racial equity, diversity, and inclusion through organizational practices and systems change.
Nonprofit Advocacy Series with SVCN
Thrive Alliance and the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits (SVCN) partner to deliver the Nonprofit Advocacy Series, a capacity-building program designed to equip nonprofits with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to engage in advocacy. Grounded in a shared commitment to racial equity and collective impact, the series supports organizations in working together to challenge systemic inequities, amplify community voices, and build power for thriving and equitable communities.
