March 16-18, 2021 and March 23-25, 2021
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) 2021 will be a virtual event. During this unique FOTH event, participants will hear from keynote speakers, receive detailed and thoughtful legislative briefings, interact with members of Congress and legislative staff, and participate in immersive panel discussions and breakout sessions. FOTH 2021 attendees will also have the chance to participate in an unprecedented digital advocacy and outreach experience, using social media and an interactive advocacy portal that communicates with Congress instantaneously.
Spread out over two weeks, this virtual FOTH will bring together hundreds of philanthropy representatives from around the country to connect with our elected officials about the policies that matter most to philanthropy, from the comfort of their home offices.
The Council of New Jersey Grantmakers is delegation captain for New Jersey participants. CNJG will organize and schedule the virtual congressional meetings. This opportunity is a valuable benefit of CNJG membership that helps raise lawmakers’ awareness of the vital work you do and inform them about issues Council members care about. If you are interested in attending or need more information please contact Theresa Jacks.
Presented by United Philanthropy Forum, in partnership with the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector, FOTH:
- Informs and educates Congress about the importance of the philanthropic sector;
- Creates visibility for foundations and philanthropy on Capitol Hill;
- Advocates on issues important to Forum members, foundations, and the broader sector;
- Encourages Congress to view the Forum and its members as resources on key public policy issues; and
- Builds your organization and CNJG’s relationship with lawmakers and their staffs.
Each year, the philanthropic sector has demonstrated that when we speak to Congress with one unified voice, we can make a lasting impact on the communities we serve.
