ARENA ADVOCACY · FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Coordinate the coalition. Read the field. Move the policy.
For nonprofits that move policy with a small staff and a big coalition. Arena Advocacy keeps your issues, your targets, your partners and your board report in one place, built from the work you're already doing.
In beta. The briefing, relationship and media engines behind it run today inside congressional offices.
What it does · 1 of 3
Read the field.
Every issue held with its watch criteria, and a target board where each move carries its basis and an owner on your staff.
What it does · 2 of 3
Hold the record.
Positions attributed, versioned and approved, and one coalition record that your staff keeps.
What it does · 3 of 3
Show the work.
Who holds each relationship and where the next opening is, and a board report assembled from what you already recorded.
Issues
Every issue, watched for you.
Set watch criteria by subject, committee, sponsor or jurisdiction, and the bills that fit surface on their own.
Each issue carries criteria by subject, keyword, committee, bill type or chamber, with manual includes and excludes. Matches land in a review queue, so a person decides what counts.
Targets
A target board built on evidence.
Every move on the board carries its basis: an observed commitment or your analyst's read. No modeled outcomes, no guesswork dressed up as data.
Every target assessment records whether it rests on an observed commitment or an analyst's read, the evidence behind it and who owns it. No predicted vote counts, no path to passage.
Positions
Positions with a paper trail.
Positions are attributed, versioned and approved. Drafts move through an approval chain, and a draft that conflicts with an approved position is flagged before it goes anywhere.
Fly-in day
Fly-in day, run from one screen.
Teams, the day's schedule and a briefing for every meeting, in one day-of command center.
A fly-in is an event with teams, a schedule, a briefing for each meeting and a debrief afterward, run from a day-of command center. The briefing engine is the one that prepares congressional principals today.
The coalition record
A record your staff keeps.
Coalitions, partners and commitments live in one tenant your staff maintains. Partners do not log in to this version, and the record changes only when your staff changes it.
Board report
The board report, assembled.
Outcomes, target movement and partner contributions roll into a funder-ready report that a person reviews before it goes anywhere.
Outcomes, target movement and partner contributions roll up from work you already recorded into a report your board and funders can read. It is a draft until a person reviews it, and nothing leaves Arena until that person says so.
Compliance
Compliance, plainly scoped.
Separate packs track 501(h) expenditure-test inputs for 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations and §6033(e) dues allocation for associations, computed from your own inputs. Deadlines and classifications, never legal advice.
Blast volume is not progress.
Action-alert platforms measure sends, clicks and signatures. Arena Advocacy is built around intelligence: what you know about your issues, your targets and your partners, and how you know it. It can plan an action and hand it off to the tool you already run. It does not replace that tool.
You live this
- The coalition picture lives in email threads and shared docs, assembled by hand.
- The target list is a spreadsheet nobody can trace: who said what, and how you know.
- Fly-in day: a full schedule of meetings, each needing a briefing, asks and a leave-behind, built manually.
- Impact reports for boards and funders, rebuilt at quarter-end from scattered records.
- The alert platform counts sends and clicks, not whether your coalition is actually making progress.
Advocacy is in beta with its first organization. Beta access is how we shape it with organizations like yours.
The legislative layer runs on Congress.gov data Arena already syncs live.
Zero fake data, anywhere, the same rule as every Arena edition.
The briefing, relationship and media engines behind Arena Advocacy run today inside congressional offices. Advocacy is their next deployment. 501(h) expenditure-test tracking and §6033(e) dues allocation are computed from your own inputs. Arena never gives legal advice, makes an election or files anything.
