The Forum's public policy and advocacy work helps to strengthen relationships and partnerships between philanthropy and government. We provide a platform for members to participate in the public policy process via our District to D.C. Advocacy Network to mobilize PSOs, foundations and other sector advocates.
We build the capacity of Forum members to participate in public policy by holding regular virtual programming, sending bi-weekly policy updates, and creating PSO-specific resources and materials.
Our two signature events — Foundations on the Hill in the spring and Philanthropy + Policy Institute in the fall — provide space for in-depth conversations, learnings and connections between PSO staff, board members and other policy leaders.
