One of the most important elements of MCN’s mission is to advocate for policies that support Massachusetts nonprofits and against those that make it more difficult for nonprofits to pursue their charitable mission.
To achieve these ends, MCN works with legislators and elected and appointed officials to educate them and garner their support. MCN also works with nonprofits across the state to involve them in these efforts through education and engagement at critical points in the legislative process.
MCN’s Public Policy Agenda
The Massachusetts Council of Nonprofits (MCN) is the voice of the nonprofit sector, bringing together nonprofits, funders, community and business leaders, and elected officials to strengthen nonprofits and raise their voice on critical issues. Critical to MCN’s mission is a robust public policy agenda focused on three goals important to the entire nonprofit sector:
- Helping the people served by nonprofits
- Strengthening nonprofits’ ability to serve people and communities
- Ensuring fair tax policy and supporting accountability
