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 go in-depth on the expanded benefits available to members that choose to upgrade, and how you can join this growing network of community foundations leading on policy issues nationally and in their communities. They will also be joined by Trisha Finnegan, a member of the Council’s Advisory Group for the Center for Community Foundations and one of several stakeholders who approached the Council to ideate on what would become the CF Leadership Coalition. Trisha will share what its creation means for her own organization and the broader field looking to strengthen its collective voice.
