The Dos and Don’ts for Nonprofits with Elections
September 17 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm CDT
Virtual Workshop – Live/Online
Fee: Free
Did you know nonprofits can do voter engagement work in the community? Not only can we legally, we think nonprofits should – and MCN is here to help as the November 3rd midterm elections approaches. Join us as we learn together about what nonprofits legally can and cannot do to support election engagement but also understand strategies that support nonprofit staff doing engagement that makes sense for their organization’s mission and constituencies. We also will have time for Q+A to ensure the opportunity to ask clarifying questions. You will walk away feeling confident and energized to engage your constituencies in a nonpartisan way and receive concrete resources for your nonprofit to use.
