Exploring the Policies that Impact Philanthropy’s Ability to Thrive
With philanthropic giving reaching all-time highs just as Americans needed it most, philanthropy’s power to address both emerging and long-term needs has never been more important. While some philanthropic organizations and funds are established for a set time, many more are created to support causes and communities for generations. Join this session to explore the intersection of public policy and perpetuity. We’ll discuss proposals that could be introduced in the next Congress as well as the Council’s work to communicate the sector’s impact and importance to federal policymakers.
Join us for the Council on Foundations’ 2022 Public Policy Summit – where we will come together as a virtual community to explore philanthropy’s role as a bridge-builder. Gain an insider’s view of how the midterm elections reshape the political landscape for philanthropy and learn how foundations can build common ground to advance the greater good, together.
The 2022 Public Policy Summit will equip foundation leaders and staff with public policy and advocacy tools while also putting them in conversation with top government officials and national policy experts. We will explore philanthropy’s role in building common ground to advance the greater good through programming like:
- Discussions of the midterm elections, the evolving political environment, and impact on the philanthropic sector
- Peer-to-peer policy sessions, where you can join other foundation leaders/staff in discussions about critical policy issues
- Updates on the Council’s donor-advised fund recommendations, federal partnerships work, and much more
