CONFIRMATIONS

Registration confirmation will be e-mailed within 10 days of receipt. Please remember to include your e-mail address on our registration form to receive registration and hotel confirmations. Because of the high volume of registrations, the Council is unable to confirm conference registration by phone. To guarantee inclusion in the conference directory of participants, the Council must receive your completed registration form by March 26, 2010. After making your online credit reservation, an instant confirmation will follow.

 

MULTIPLE REGISTRATION DISCOUNT

If your organization is a member of the Council on Foundations and three people from your organization pay the full conference fee ($785), additional members of your organization who register at the same time as the first three will receive the multiple registration discount ($675). Registration forms and payment must be received by March 26, 2010.

PAN MEMBERS

Philanthropic Advisors Network members in good standing are eligible for a special registration at the Council on Foundation’s member rate. For more information, contact PAN at 703-879-0600 or pan@cof.org.

 

AFFINITY GROUPS

This year, the Council is extending the member rate to all members of Council-recognized affinity groups, whether they are Council members or not. Contact your affinity group to get the proper code to use when registering. It will be the responsibility of each affinity group to share this offer and the group code with their members. Additionally, the Council will pay Council-recognized affinity groups $100 for every registered annual conference participant who is one of their members but not a Council member, provided they have registered using the appropriate group code. Payment to the affinity groups will be made within 60 days after the conference. Please contact Michelle Bermudez at for more information.

PENDING MEMBERS

Non-members must pay non-member registration fees. Pending membership applications or applications sent with the registration form do not qualify for registration at the member rate.
