For over 75 years, the Council on Foundations has worked to support the nation’s community foundations, acting as a voice for them in Washington, D.C. while providing essential policy guidance and resources. Now, through the new CF Leadership Coalition, Policy and Communications Add-On, Council members have the option to receive expanded, direct support to navigate and influence public policy on top of their existing membership benefits.

Council staff will detail the expanded benefits available to members who choose to upgrade, and how you can join this growing network of community foundations leading on policy issues. They will also be joined by a member of the Leadership Coalition, who will share what its creation means for their organization and the broader field.

Join us for an open office hours session to learn more about applying to and participating in the Community Foundations Working Across Differences Accelerator.
