Public Policy
The Forum’s mission is to lead, strengthen and inform a national network of organizations that advance philanthropy's impact for the common good. In order to carry out that mission, the Forum recognizes the critical importance of substantial engagement in the public policy process.
About
Headquartered in Washington, DC, the Forum is strategically located to lead in federal public policy, by advocating on behalf of our members and the philanthropic sector at-large. In that capacity, the Forum also creates opportunities for members to participate in advocacy and public policy regarding key legislative issues and regulatory matters at the state and federal levels.
The Forum's policy work also strengthens relationships and partnerships between philanthropy and government. By leveraging the power of our broad network, the Forum:
- Serves as a unified voice for the philanthropic sector.
- Impacts legislation, regulation, and public policy at the state and federal levels.
- Provides a platform and support for members’ participation in public policy / advocacy process.
- Educates and informs policymakers, regulators, and general public about philanthropy, its impact on communities, and the importance of policies that address racial equity.
