Policy and sociocultural advocacy are still entrenched within their disciplinary silos. This makes that a lot of research is missing out on the complete picture of nonprofits’ social change efforts. Moreover, this also relates to inconsistencies (i.e., determinants) and ambiguities (i.e., tactics) that are characteristic of the current ‘morass’ in which nonprofit advocacy literature finds itself today. In this study, we empirically analyze whether nonprofits engage in policy and/or sociocultural advocacy as well as whether determinants and tactics relate differently or similarly to both advocacy goals. Making use of a large-N survey database of Flemish nonprofits, our findings show that: (a) most nonprofits engage in advocacy in general and around half pursue both policy and sociocultural change, (b) the field of activity, age, public and market income are important explanatory variables and (c) not all advocacy tactics are used for pursuing both policy and sociocultural advocacy.

政策和社会文化倡导仍然根深蒂固地存在于其学科领域内。这使得许多研究错过了非营利组织社会变革努力的全貌。此外，这还与不一致（即决定因素）和模糊性（即策略）有关，这些是非营利倡导文学今天所处的“泥沼”的特征。在本研究中，我们实证分析非营利组织是否参与政策和/或社会文化倡导，以及决定因素和策略与这两个倡导目标的关系是否不同或相似。利用佛兰德非营利组织的大型调查数据库，我们的研究结果表明：(a) 大多数非营利组织总体上从事宣传活动，大约一半的非营利组织同时追求政策和社会文化变革，(b) 活动领域、年龄、公众和市场收入是重要的解释变量，并且(c) 并非所有宣传策略都用于推行政策和社会文化宣传。
