HOW TO REGISTER

CONFIRMATIONS

Confirmations will be e-mailed within 10 days of receipt.
Please remember to include your e-mail address on your 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 August 20, 2010. After making your online credit card 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 ($750), additional members of your organization who register at the same time as the first three will receive the multiple registration discount ($650). Registration forms and payment must be received by July 31, 2010.

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

AFFINITY GROUPS

The Council is pleased to extend the member rate to all members of Council-recognized affinity groups, whether they are Council members or not. Additionally, the Council will pay Council-recognized affinity groups $100 for every registered fall conference participant who is one of their members but not a Council member and who registers for the conference using the appropriate discount code. If your foundation would like to take advantage of this initiative and if your foundation is a member of a Council-recognized affinity group but not a member of the Council, please contact your affinity group to receive the appropriate discount code.

PENDING MEMBER

Nonmembers must pay nonmember registration fees. Pending membership applications or applications sent with the registration form do not qualify for registration at the member rate. If you pay the nonmember fee for the conference and your Council membership is approved by December 31, the difference between member and nonmember conference fees will be credited toward your organization's dues payment.
