Advocacy & Public Policy
State Policy
NDANO works to strengthen and mobilize the state nonprofit sector’s public policy voice in North Dakota.
During the biannual state legislative session, NDANO tracks bills that may be of interest to North Dakota nonprofits and provides weekly reports to members. NDANO also takes positions and lobbies on legislation that impacts the entire North Dakota nonprofit sector. This long-term work is guided by our public policy agenda.
