Build Your Advocacy Fire.
Every nonprofit has a mission worth fighting for. But too many organizations work in isolation from the political and civic forces that shape their work — and their funding.
Campfire Strategies works with nonprofits to change that. We help you build the governmental relationships you need, engage the communities you serve, and sustain the advocacy effort over the long haul.
Because a fire doesn't stay lit on its own. It takes tending.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Map your political landscape. Build real relationships with the officials and agencies who affect your work. Navigate the legislative process with confidence.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Design and execute strategies that bring communities to the table, build coalitions, and translate grassroots energy into political power.
ADVOCACY TRAINING
Develop your team's advocacy muscle through hands-on workshops, board education, and our signature Advocacy Academy model.
Founded by Dr. Matthew J. Camp — political scientist, educator, former Director of Government Relations at Teachers College Columbia University, and author of Tend — Campfire Strategies brings more than two decades of rigorous, research-informed practice to every engagement.
