Last month we shared registration details for Foundations on the Hill taking place March 16-19, 2026 in Washington, DC. This event is an annual opportunity to meet directly with House and Senate lawmakers and their staff to discuss the issues that impact our work and the communities we serve.
Over the next several weeks, Philanthropy Southeast will offer a series of webinars to help you learn more about Foundations on the Hill and how to prepare for your time in Washington. Please join us for one or all of these upcoming programs.
