Are there any legit poker organizations?

[PE101]

Are there any legitimate poker organizations out there? Any groups that have any actual lobbying strength – with non-profit status?

I occasionally see some adds for one, then a few months later, nothing.

I see the “National Poker Association” at myNPA.org , but the site doesn’t mention if it’s non-profit or not. Is it for real?
Does it have any members?

BTW: This is a "re-post" from "Other Poker".
