Mission and role
The Council on Foundations serves as a membership association for grantmaking foundations and corporations, supporting the philanthropic sector through leadership, advocacy, and resources.[4] In line with its advocacy role, the Council has engaged in national policy efforts. In 2025, it joined a coalition opposing provisions in H.R. 1, a bill that proposed increased excise taxes on private foundations. The Council argued that such measures would reduce the funds available for charitable grants and negatively impact nonprofit organizations reliant on foundation support.[5]
