We invite you to join us virtually for Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) on March 16-18 and March 23-25, 2021 along with more than 300 philanthropy representatives from around the country. We will meet with our elected officials about the policies that matter most to philanthropy. FOTH is presented by United Philanthropy Forum in partnership with the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector.
This year FOTH has been transformed into a mix of virtual meetings with members of Congress from California, digital advocacy opportunities, public policy panels, programming, and keynote sessions focusing on philanthropy's impact.
NCG is creating space for you and your organization in these meetings to advocate for the philanthropic sector and educate lawmakers on the importance and the impact it has on districts and constituencies. You will have the opportunity to strengthen relationships with policymakers on issues that matter to you, such as healthcare, housing, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These virtual meetings will allow our elected officials to hear directly from our sector and understand the impact we can make for communities together. To learn more about FOTH, access resources about the events, view the agenda, and read the FAQs below.
Would you like to be a part of NCG's delegation? We are building our delegation, and want to see you there! If you are interested in attending, please contact our delegation captain: Crispin Delgado at cdelgado@ncg.org.
How it Works
Prior to FOTH, your delegation captain will schedule meetings on Capitol Hill with members of Congress. Your delegation captain will be in charge of setting up the meetings, sharing policy priorities and topics of interest to discuss, communicating with you about scheduling updates, and coordinating a pre-FOTH call for all delegation members where you will be provided with everything you need to know. In addition, there will be on-site training to prepare you for everything you should expect during your meetings on the Hill. Registrants will also have exclusive access to recordings of FOTH programming for 3 months after the event. Foundations on the Hill:
- Informs and educates Congress about philanthropy;
- Creates visibility for foundations and philanthropy on Capitol Hill;
- Advocates on issues important to foundations;
- Encourages Congress to view foundations as resources on key public policy issues; and
- Builds your organization’s relationship with lawmakers and their staffs.
