Services to members include grantmaker education products, an annual conference, co-organization of Foundations on the Hill and District Days, conference calls and listserves, vendor discounts, annual characteristic surveys of regional associations, bi-weekly e-newsletters, a Web-based public policy platform, and a robust knowledge management system.
