Budgeting Consideration
We recommend that organizations budget their Advocacy Institute Membership as consulting fees. Our funders and trusted advisors agree that given our holistic approach to your legislative advocacy, consulting fees is a more accurate description of the services rendered than, for example, professional development. Moreover, foundations tend to support consulting budgets more readily.
