Hit the Hill
NNA Legislative Day
Advocate and Educate
NNA receives broad bipartisan support from both the House of Representatives and the Senate as they appropriate funds and enact legislation that benefits the communities our members work in. We solidify this support by coordinating one full day when our membership “hits the Hill” to tell the story of NeighborWorks organizations’ challenges, opportunities and impacts.
NNA Legislative Day
At our last in-person NNA Legislative Day, with a total of 200 people hitting the Hill to tell our story and advocating for FY25 funding.
NNA Annual Legislative Day
Every Spring, NNA hosts its annual Legislative Day in Washington, DC where members meet with Members of Congress to advocate and educate the Hill on the collective impact and success of the NeighborWorks network, and each individual NeighborWorks organization. NNA invites all NeighborWorks organizations to the Hill, which leads to over 180 organizations participating, resulting in sustaining $158 million in core appropriations for FY25!
The most recent event was capped off with the NNA Legislative Day reception, hosted by Senator Jeff Merkley (OR) with presentations by Vice Chairwoman Susan Collins (ME), Senator Jack Reed (RI), Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01).
We instill in our members that advocacy is not a one-day event, but a much-needed activity throughout the year.
