One constant remains: the growing demand for the essential services and resources nonprofits provide to help communities thrive.

Watch CMF's inaugural Quarterly Policy Briefing. The meeting starts with a D.C. briefing from CMF's Washington, D.C., consultants at Integer, covering the landscape around some of the most concerning Executive Orders and the conversations in Congress around significant tax changes that could impact the charitable sector.
A lot has changed in Washington, D.C., with the election of a new Congress with new leadership, and a new presidential administration. The nonprofit sector continues to see increased scrutiny from both sides of the aisle, and major tax changes are likely to happen quickly. Philanthropy needs to be engaged in helping policymakers understand how philanthropy works and the efforts we are leading alongside communities. Join CMF, your Michigan philanthropy peers and D.C. insiders from Integer to discuss what challenges and opportunities lie ahead in 2025. This future-looking briefing and conversation will help equip Michigan philanthropy to engage in issues that matter to our sector and our communities.
