Nonprofit NoVA - Legislative Action

Legislative Action

Advocacy is an essential part of serving the community and impacts the work that we all do.

Nonprofit NoVA provides resources that will help you, your Board and your volunteers learn the how and why and value of your and their advocacy work.

Start a relationship with your legislators:

Contact information for your Federal and State Representatives. And here is a convenient tool for anyone in Virginia to find their representatives at both State and Federal levels.
Contact information for Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, Loudoun, Prince William will help you get in touch with your local representative.

Contacting your Representative

Another great resource is contacting your local official. Be it your national, state or local elected or appointed officials, any can be a great help.

Project Vote Smart provides an easy to use website that will allow you to find out who your local, state and national representatives are and how to easily contact them.
