Registration: To register online please click here. ************************************************************ Each year a group of grantmakers travel to Washington, D.C. for Foundations on the Hill—an event co-sponsored by the Council on Foundations and the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers.
By attending Foundations on the Hill, you can develop or strengthen your relationships with your members of Congress and share your views on the latest charitable legislation. Members of Congress are most influenced when constituents from their states or districts advance a cause on behalf of themselves and their national organizations. A meeting in Washington, D.C. shows an extra level of dedication and commitment to that cause.
The two day event is an opportunity for funders to: * Inform and educate Congress about philanthropy * Create visibility for foundations and philanthropy on Capitol Hill * Advocate on issues affecting foundations * Encourage Congress to view foundations as resources on key public policy issues The event includes issue briefings on Wednesday and a full day of meetings on Thursday, and the opportunity to connect with other public policy and foundation professionals from across the country.
