Mark your calendars for the late February or early March 2027 and join Forefront board members, policy committee members, policy staff, and philanthropic stakeholders from across IL and the US at #FOTH27. At this annual event, hundreds descend upon Capital Hill to learn, network, and educate officials.
Forefront has a limited number of stipends available to help offset the cost of attendance for 501c3 community foundations and other public charities to ensure they are adequately represented at FOTH. Priority is given to active members, community foundations, and then other public charities, on a first-come, first-served basis. Stipends are only issued to organizations, not individuals, and only after returning from FOTH. To receive the full stipend, registration, hotel, flight, and other expenses must exceed the stipend amount. Receipts and a W-9 are required. Request information by emailing [email protected].
This is a crucial time for charitable organizations to engage in public policy advocacy. Bringing a strong Illinois delegation to FOTH is vital! Plan now to join us in 2027.
FOTH is presented by the United Philanthropy Forum in partnership with the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector. Send questions to [email protected].
