Advance Native Political Leadership (Advance) is the first and only national Native-led organization working to build a complete ecosystem approach to political power building in Native communities – leadership recruitment and support, civic engagement, data and research, and national coordination.
Our theory of change is that when Native peoples and communities have access to national networks, innovative tools for community organizing, strategies for civic and voter engagement, and pathways to leadership, we inherently advance all of our communities’ health and wellbeing.
Advance Native Political Leadership was founded to address the need for increased Native American representation in elected and appointed office at all levels across the country.
Advance Native Political Leadership Action Fund is our 501(c)(4) project, and is fiscally sponsored by Tides Advocacy.
This organization is a registered 501(c)(4) charity in the U.S. Donations are not tax deductible within the guidance of U.S. law.
Unlike 501(c)(3) nonprofits, (c)(4) organizations can participate in unlimited lobbying activities, providing them with more tools to engage in policy change. These organizations often support powerbuilding in communities through advocacy and electoral work.
