Recent research has indicated an emergent scholarly interest in policy advocacy by nonprofits (e.g., Andrews & Edwards, 2004; Bass, Arons, Guinane, & Carter, 2007; Berry, 2003; Garrow & Hasenfeld, 2014; Grønbjerg & Prakash, 2017; Guo & Saxton, 2014; Mosley, 2011; Pekkanen, Smith, & Tsujinaka, 2014). 1 A first research question this large body of literature often examines is what factors shape nonprofit engagement in policy advocacy, because the answers to the question potentially lay the foundation for later explorations of advocacy behaviors and impact (Pekkanen & Smith, 2014a).…”
