The Council on Foundations Family Foundation Conference is primarily intended for donors, trustees and staff of family foundations and staff and donor advisors of community foundations and other grantmaking organizations. Conference registration is open to all members of the Council on Foundations.

Individuals representing family foundations, community foundations or other grantmaking organizations who are not members of the Council on Foundations may attend the Family Foundation Conference at the nonmember registration rate once eligibility is confirmed by the Council. Please submit a copy of your foundation's IRS determination letter and your latest Form 990-PF with your registration form.

Independent donors who do not have their own foundations and those with funds in national gift funds or other public charities are also welcome to attend the conference at the nonmember registration rate. Annual giving must be greater than $25,000 a year. Please include a letter indicating the nature of your giving and your estimated annual giving amount with your registration form. Conference attendance is not guaranteed until eligibility is confirmed by the Council.

Advisors, staff members of banks or trust companies that manage family foundations, and consultants of family foundations may register if they are attending at the request of a family foundation. If representing a member of the Council on Foundations, the member registration rate will apply. The sponsoring family foundation must write a letter to accompany the registration form stating that the prospective registrant is attending on their behalf. Such attendees must register under the name of the sponsoring family foundation or fund.

Non-members should not make travel arrangements until the Council confirms eligibility to register. Submission of requested documents does not guarantee eligibility to attend the Family Foundation Conference.

Eligibility questions should be addressed to the Council's Membership Services Staff, 202/467-0463.
