Registration for next year's Foundations on the Hill is now open -- and for the first time since 2020, it will be an in-person event in Washington!

Foundations on the Hill, taking place February 27-March 1, represents your best opportunity to discuss your foundation's work and priorities with lawmakers and their staff -- and urge them to advance policies that boost philanthropy's impact and move our region forward.

Presented in partnership with the United Philanthropy Forum, this year's Foundations on the Hill will offer opportunities for both building relationships with lawmakers and boosting your knowledge of policy. Arrive early to take advantage of a full day of programming on February 27 or come in that evening for the official FOTH Welcome Reception ahead of two days of Hill visits. You can learn more about the agenda at the Forum's website.

The Philanthropy Southeast staff will work with you and other attendees from your state to schedule visits on Capitol Hill and provide you with the information and materials you need to promote philanthropy's work and priorities.

Foundations on the Hill is also a great opportunity to connect with fellow Philanthropy Southeast members who see public policy as important to their work -- you'll leave with connections from both Capitol Hill and the entire region!

After you register for Foundations on the Hill, sign up for our February 16 webinar, Get Ready for Foundations on the Hill. We’ll review this year’s schedule, discuss how to get the most out of your visits to Capitol Hill and go over the key messages to deliver to lawmakers this year.
