Policy and issue advocacy are critical to making Maine a more equitable state. MPC strives to lead our sector to harness its collective power in advocacy, allowing transformational change for the community. Informed policy change seeks to solve the problems philanthropy addresses.

MPC policy and issue priorities are guided by three strategic priorities:

• Advance reforms toward a more equitable sector. 
• Advocate alongside the nonprofit community to address emerging opportunities and threats to the vibrancy of the sector. 
• Advocate for equitable access to state and federal resources for historically excluded communities and a vibrant and accessible democracy for all.
