This study examines how community based organizations in Winnipeg support community and grassroots policy advocacy to address the needs of their participants. Results from a survey and interviews with staff working at CBOs show that Winnipeg’s non-profit sector takes policy advocacy seriously.

CBOs engage in policy advocacy on issues that matter to community members and employ a variety of methods to engage their participants in the identification of priorities for policy change and in the implementation of advocacy efforts.
