This is a Partner Event hosted by United Philanthropy Forum
Foundations on the Hill 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment for the philanthropic sector. After a year marked by rapid policy shifts, heightened scrutiny, and growing demands on charitable institutions, philanthropy is gathering at #FOTH26 to collectively strengthen the sector’s independence and its ability to serve communities in the years ahead.
2025 taught us that when our networks are aligned, informed, and connected, philanthropy can engage more effectively. #FOTH26 builds on this momentum by convening the leaders, institutions, and ideas capable of designing our sector’s long-term advocacy future.
