In 2018, Museums Alaska members came together to support reinstating the Alaska State Museum’s Grant-in-Aid program, which was eliminated from the Governor’s proposed budget. Because of this effort, the legislators heard our message, and funding was reinstated. Without this effort, the funding would have been cut.
We followed guidelines from AAM and guidance from the National Council of Nonprofits to shape our efforts.
You, too, can advocate at a national level, state level, and local level for your own organization! Check out the resources below to find out how:
