Indiana Philanthropy Alliance
Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) is an annual advocacy opportunity for IPA members to meet with their federal lawmakers at their Washington, D.C. offices about the policies that matter most to our sector. Attendees advocate on behalf of the philanthropic sector and educate lawmakers about the importance of philanthropy in America, and the impact it has on their districts and constituencies.

When polled by the Congressional Management Foundation, congressional staffers consistently indicated that direct constituent interactions have the highest influence on lawmakers’ decisions—more than any other advocacy strategies.
By joining FOTH, your members of Congress better understand the impact of the work you do in Indiana and the policies necessary to ensure you can effectively carry out your missions. Building relationships with members of Congress and their staff is critical to influencing policymakers on issues that matter most and gaining their support for the philanthropic sector.
Prior to FOTH, IPA will schedule meetings on Capitol Hill with your member of the Indiana federal delegation. During FOTH, our staff and other IPA members will join you in these meetings. IPA will ensure you are fully prepared for these meetings and aware of all scheduling updates. You will be given policy priorities and topics of interest to discuss and invited to a pre-FOTH call for additional guidance.
