The Good Lobby works to make our political systems more equal by giving nonprofits, activists, progressive businesses, and philanthropies a greater voice in the policy process.
As we believe that the quality of public decision-making improves when all the different parties can have their opinions heard, we also advocate for a more accessible, transparent, accountable, and responsible lobbying environment.
Our work enhances the advocacy capacity of civil society organisations while making corporate lobbying more transparent, ethical, and sustainable.
TRAINING
From tailored workshops to in-depth incubator programmes, we help grassroots movements, NGOs, philanthropies, as well as progressive companies to improve their advocacy capacity and political engagement. We teach new tools to both scale up and responsibly professionalise lobbying and advocacy strategies.
Participants have the opportunity to form new alliances, expand the scope of their work, and increase their impact at EU, national and local level.
CONSULTING
We provide clients with strategic advocacy, legal and policy advice, ranging from legal analysis, academic research and stakeholder mapping to media monitoring and communication. This can focus on the local, national, EU and international level.
Our team helps your nonprofit or progressive business achieve its policy goals. We combine our expertise of the “EU bubble” and passion for better policymaking with yours. Together, we can counter the influence of powerful vested interests and ensure progressive policies are at the heart of EU policy.
PRO BONO SUPPORT
When organisations don’t have the resources to cover their advocacy and legal needs, The Good Lobby connects NGOs and social change actors with legal and policy experts offering their services on a pro bono basis.
Our pro bono members have the opportunity to coach and mentor grassroots activists and participants of our advocacy academies. Members are invited to events aimed at strengthening the capacity of civil society and addressing their most pressing needs. These include roundtables and training on EU law, SLAPPs, GDPR, nonprofit law, strategic litigation, and environmental and competition law.
