Policy Update: Foundations on the Hill & Social Innovation Funds NOFA
Foundations on the Hill — Join us!
Philanthropy Northwest heads east to D.C. for Foundations on the Hill, March 16 & 17th — and we want you to come with us!
FOTH is a great place to connect with regional and national peers, to learn about federal level policy issues and ideas, and to help members of Congress and their staff understand the work you do here in the Northwest. This year, you’ll get to deliver the new Trends in Northwest Giving hot off the press!
Registration is free: http://www.foundationsonthehill.org/
If you’re planning to attend, please join us for a Philanthropy Northwest FOTH delegation call on Tuesday, March 9th, at 11am PST. RSVP to mmcnally@PhilanthropyNW.org to receive teleconference instructions.
If you’ve never been before and want to know more, contact Megan McNally directly at (206) 234-9342.
