Philanthropy's Role Supporting Civic Engagement
Join this webinar to hear about how foundations are supporting nonpartisan voter engagement in communities across the country - and learn how your foundation can do the same.
Voter participation and civic engagement are core facets of a healthy and thriving democracy. At a time when voter participation in the U.S. continues to lag behind that in other countries, foundations have the opportunity to provide needed support. But what can foundations legally do, and what safeguards exist to protect both our sector and our democracy? Join this webinar to learn how foundations can support ongoing nonpartisan voter engagement work, dispel confusion around legal restrictions, and hear about recent initiatives from philanthropic communities around the country to boost voter participation. This webinar is presented in partnership with the Funders' Committee for Civic Participation and Philanthropy for Voter Engagement.

Building Trust in Philanthropy With Deeper Stories and Clear Language
This webinar dug into the findings of the most extensive study on how storytelling can build trust in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, undertaken by the Council of Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications in 2023.
This webinar dug into the findings of the most extensive study on how storytelling can build trust in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, undertaken by the Council of Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications in 2023. The report based on our findings, released earlier this month, has detailed findings and concrete recommendations born of:
- A national survey of 3,557 people to assess attitudes about philanthropy and test language;
- An analysis of Congressmembers’ social media statements about foundations;
- A content analysis of Congressional Research Service reports; and
- Interviews with communications practitioners, Congressional staffers, and a philanthropy researcher in the field.
Listen to the recording to hear more about the hard data on what worked and what didn’t and detailed, research-based recommendations for the sector about telling stories and making language choices that build trust and help people understand how change happens.

Peer Event
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - October Peer Learning Circle
Connect with your peers across the country to strategize and share resources. Registration for the Peer Learning Circle is free and open to staff of all levels at Council members of all foundation types.
The Council on Foundations proudly unveils an exciting new member benefit tailored for foundations of all types, DEI Peer Learning Circles. This engagement opportunity is designed to connect foundation staff of all levels across the country who are working to explore, design, implement, or refine their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Chaired by Celia Yapita, Community Leadership & Learning Director at the Albuquerque Community Foundation, the group will meet monthly or as the group decides.
In today's ever-evolving philanthropic landscape, our circles serve as more than just a platform for growth; they are a response to the urgent issues and DEI challenges unfolding in philanthropy and beyond. Through lively discussions, real-world case studies, and collaborative troubleshooting sessions, participants will gain invaluable insights, forge meaningful relationships, and acquire practical strategies and innovative approaches to drive DEI initiatives within their communities.
This will be a monthly series. While you're welcome to drop in for individual sessions, we encourage you to make this space your own by attending regularly.
