THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THIS PROGRAM. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THIS CYCLE.

This application provides a bit more information about the program and what it will require of participants - we encourage you to read the full application before filling it out.

Program dates will be solidified based on availability of our participants; we anticipate starting no earlier than the week of February 27th and ending no later than the week of June 12th.

Pay-What-You-Can Pricing for the Academy is $300 - $225 - $150. Accepted applicants will receive a registration link; no payment is required at this point.

Do you have authority to make decisions about policy advocacy on behalf of your organization? *

We expect the vast majority of people to reply "in some cases" or "I'm not sure", so don't hesitate to respond this way!

Yes

In some cases... see below

I'm not sure... see below

If you answered "In some cases" or "I'm not sure" above, please elaborate here:

What policy outcome(s) would you most like to be able to achieve as a result of participating in this program? *

What professional development outcome(s) would you most like to achieve as a result of participating in this program? *

How big is your organization? *

"Big" can mean many things! We're interested in figuring out how much capacity you already have to carry out public policy advocacy in addition to the other things you do. Staff size, budget, regularly engaged volunteers, email list size, number of people you served last year, etc. - all of these are worth mentioning (as well as any other things we missed in this list!)

Who else from your organization do you anticipate participating in this program? *

All participants in this program will ultimately need to enlist others to carry out their public policy advocacy campaign.

For that reason, we suggest giving some thought now to who you'd like to be part of a small team of people from your organization who will ultimately share responsibility for the success of your public policy advocacy work.

Ideally, your team will include whoever handles your external communications (email blasts, social media posts, etc.) as well as a few more people from your organization. We heartily encourage participation of non-staff people: volunteers, board members, donors, and clients can all be huge assets in public policy advocacy campaigns!

This program will require us to find a dedicated time to meet via Zoom for 90 minutes at least twice a month (roughly every other week). Which of the following times should work for you and your team?

Rather than arbitrarily choosing a meeting time that would likely exclude potential applicants, we are experimenting with listing the feasible meeting times in hopes of finding one that works for everyone, while also recognizing that we may need to leave out some excellent organizations.

With this in mind, please indicate ALL the times that should work for you. We realize that you cannot foresee every possible contingency; we are looking for the times when you can make a good faith commitment to show up, and when you can reasonably expect most of your team to show up even someone has to skip due to a work commitment, family illness, or the like.

10am-11:30am

What's already on your schedule that would prevent you from attending the Academy on one or more week(s)? *

For example, if you have a major work event coming up that will preclude your participation on certain weeks, or a non-work commitment that will have you away from your computer, please list those dates so we can try to schedule the full Academy meetings around everyone's availability.

Note: The Academy will not meet the week of April 3rd, when the program staff will be on vacation.

What's the best phone number for us to reach you with any follow-up questions? *

Is there anything else you want to add?

Send me a copy of my responses.
