This week, NY Funders Alliance leaders were in Washington, D.C. to engage in the return of an in-person Foundations on the Hill (FOTH), hosted by the United Philanthropy Forum in partnership with Independent Sector and Council on Foundations.

Foundations on the Hill is an opportunity for philanthropy to inform congress of the importance of the philanthropic sector, create visibility, and centralize advocacy as a vital tool for foundations and the broader sector to mobilize legislators.

During their Hill meetings, NY Funders Alliance leaders urged support of the non-itemizer deduction, which directly impacts nonprofits and their beneficiaries. They also shared local impact stories of the critical work philanthropy carries out in New York and discussed the opportunities for philanthropy and government to work in partnership for the communities we serve.

We loved having the opportunity to connect with over 80 corporate grantmakers from across the country today as we held the first webinar in a two-part offering for our corporate members! It was a pleasure to partner with our friends at other philanthropy-serving organizations to plan these events: Council of New Jersey Grantmakers, Florida Philanthropic Network, Maryland Philanthropy Network, Network for North Carolina Grantmakers, Philanthropy WV, and Wisconsin Philanthropy Network.

Today’s webinar was presented by Changing Our World and discussed the shifting landscape of Corporate Social Responsibility. The next session in May will be presented in partnership with the Center for Disaster Philanthropy and will discuss how corporate funders can best leverage their resources and expertise to address community crises.

Congratulations to all partners involved on a successful first event today!
