Quarterly Policy Pulse Calls - December 2026

From Executive Orders and Supreme Court decisions to state budget cuts, grantmakers today face a complex policy landscape that is significantly impacting nonprofits, charitable giving, and the communities we serve.

To support California funders navigating these challenging political and economic shifts, Philanthropy California will be hosting Quarterly Policy Pulse Calls to examine the latest policy developments affecting the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. This series will convene funders and experts statewide to discuss public policy updates, engage in peer learning, and coordinate advocacy efforts.

Join us for our Quarterly Policy Pulse Call on Thursday, December 3rd, at 10:00 am, where we will discuss the upcoming gubernatorial transition and how philanthropy can engage with the new administration.

Whether you are deeply engaged in public policy work or simply looking to stay informed, our Quarterly Policy Pulse Calls will create a space for California funders to make sense of an increasingly complex environment and take collective action. As we recognize the rapid and urgent nature of policy and proposed legislation, there will also be opportunities for engagement between the normal cadence of these calls, as needed.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with karla@socalgrantmakers.org.
