More than 30 CMF members from all sizes and types of foundations are arriving in Washington, D.C. today for Foundations on the Hill (FOTH).

The annual event hosted by United Philanthropy Forum in partnership with CMF brings together foundation leaders from across the country to establish quality relationships with lawmakers to advance advocacy that maximizes the efforts of philanthropy.

Over the next three days they will be meeting with their Congressional delegation members and our Michigan senators to build relationships, share the work that they do and highlight issues of importance to philanthropy.

CMF will be sharing all the action from the Hill on our social media channels, which you can follow via the hashtags #CMFontheHill or #FOTH19.

Next week we’ll share a special edition of the Weekly Download detailing information shared with our lawmakers, key takeaways and perspectives of members who engaged in the visits.

Also, be sure to join us on April 2 for a webinar, Foundations on the Hill: Debrief and Download to hear from your colleagues about their experience on the Hill and what was shared.
