Programs & Member Benefits

Public Policy Update: This monthly newsletter sent to all SECF members recaps recent developments, looks at what’s on the horizon and identifies opportunities to engage with policymakers and ensure philanthropy’s voice is heard. 

Webinars: Regular legal and legislative updates are part of an ongoing series of virtual programs that provide the opportunity to hear from experts, get answers to burning questions and hear from fellow SECF members.  

Policy alerts: When news breaks SECF sends out policy alerts that keep members informed of the latest developments and whether any action – including calls or emails to lawmakers – is needed.

Foundations on the Hill: SECF prides itself on regularly bringing the largest delegation of philanthropic professionals in the country to this annual event, when foundation leaders meet with lawmakers and key staff members to discuss philanthropy’s work in their communities and how policy decisions can affect our sector’s ability to improve lives and communities.

In-District Meetings: Even when Congress is out of session, SECF members make sure our voice is heard by meeting with representatives and senators on their home turf. SECF assists members in setting up these events and providing resources that allow them to effectively deliver their message.
