Our team was honored to join The Forum for #FOTH2024 in February. This gathering brought together national leaders to discuss the critical role of philanthropy in bolstering a healthy democracy & how investing in voter engagement is a foundational pillar of this ecosystem.

How can philanthropy help support democracy? Encourage all organizations you work with to support voting, deliver funding early, and look beyond the election in November. #FOTH2024

How does philanthropy build for the future in an election year? Start planning now and don't be afraid to fund important advocacy work. #FOTH2024
