The National Forum on Family Philanthropy Registration
Date & Location: November 4–6, 2026 | Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown
NCFP’s forum brings philanthropic families and leaders together for three days of peer networking and thought-provoking conversations led by some of the greatest thought leaders in family giving.
From plenary sessions to small group discussions and workshops, National Forum conversations raise timely questions, share core practices, and advance innovative ideas.
If you plan to attend the National Forum on Family Philanthropy in addition to the workshop, you must complete a separate paid registration.
To support your participation in the full forum, we are pleased to offer members of the Community Foundations Network a significantly discounted rate of $1,200. Registration for the forum and the Community Foundations Workshop opens on May 18.
The National Forum has historically sold out quickly. Early registration is encouraged.
