A recap of #FOTH2024 so far! From an agenda with programming rooted in equity to meetings on the Hill to discuss policy issues that affect philanthropy and communities, we're showing the valuable role that the sector plays in ensuring a healthy democracy. bit.ly/FOTH2024_Recap

Today is #PhilanthropyDayofAction , and we're joining our nonprofit partners in support of the bipartisan Charitable Act, which would expand the universal charitable deduction!

We urge Congress to support the #CharitableAct to benefit taxpayers and help Ys serve communities.

Thank you Rep. Danny K. Davis and Darin LaHood for co-sponsoring the #CharitableAct (H.R. 3435). Attn Illinois foundations and nonprofits: Ask our other Representatives to do the same using this simple form: unitedphilforum.org/forum-advocate… #PhilanthropyDayOfAction #twill #CharitableAct

When Congress enacted a temporary universal charitable deduction in 2020, it generated $10.9B in giving that year. On the #PhilanthropyDayofAction , the Forum urges legislators to co-sponsor the #CharitableAct and help strengthen charitable giving!

PSOs, foundations, and the broader philanthropic sector have an opportunity to join the #PhilanthropyDayOfAction in support of the #CharitableAct . Join the Forum today, Oct. 4th, by writing, calling, and/or posting on social media to ask your legislators to co-sponsor the bill!

The Philanthropy + Policy Institute is one week away! The #PPI2023 theme is: “Advocacy in Action: PSOs Leading the Way,” and will include a focus on the rules and practices of advocacy for PSOs and the broader sector. Register today! bit.ly/PhilanthropyPo…

Proud to have been selected as a 2023 NGen Fellow by Independent Sector. This program provides a dynamic #leadershipdevelopment opportunity for 12 changemakers, 40 and under.

I look forward to joining 11 other leaders from across the country as the program's 1st all-BIPOC class!

If you are in a room where surface agreement is more important than fighting against racism, standing up for women’s rights, insisting on fair wages for hard work, and demanding truth-telling about our leaders and elections, you need to get up and find another room.

We're so proud of our Senior Director of Public Policy, Matthew L. Evans, for receiving the 2023 Emerging Leader Award for his dynamic and change-making work that bridges the gaps between advocacy and philanthropy!
