Signature Policy Events

 

Philanthropy California’s signature policy events give California funders unique opportunities to connect with state and federal lawmakers. We encourage our grantmaking community to build these cross-sector partnerships to scale our statewide work and improve the lives of millions of Californians.

 

Sacramento Day

 

Sacramento Day brings our philanthropic community and California lawmakers together at our state Capitol. We create opportunities for Philanthropy California members to meet legislators and educate them on the most important issues to our sector and communities. We also create networking opportunities to develop relationships with fellow policy-oriented peers. Starting in 2025, Sacramento Day will be held on odd-numbered years, with our next event scheduled for 2027.

Foundations on the Hill (FOTH)

 

Foundations on the Hill (FOTH), hosted by the United Philanthropy Forum, brings together hundreds of foundation leaders from across the country to meet with Congress and discuss issues of critical importance to philanthropy. Philanthropy California’s delegation of members travels to Washington, D.C. every other year to meet with our federal representatives and share our work in California. Philanthropy California will return to Foundations on the Hill in 2026. If you are interested, please get in touch with our team.
