2026 Philanthropy in Sacramento Day

Page 1

Philanthropy California invites you to join our 2026 Philanthropy in Sacramento Day, coming up on Tuesday, April 7 and Wednesday, April 8. This is an opportunity to connect with funders from across the state, build alignment and strategic coordination around key cross-regional issues, educate and advocate with state policy makers and agencies. Day 1 will include a full day of programming starting at 11AM, focusing on the significance of philanthropic and government relationships, preparation for meetings, and a reception to follow. Day 2 will consist of visits with legislative and agency offices.   

With turmoil and dysfunction emanating from the federal level, the impacts of H.R. 1 implementation, and increasingly hostile immigration enforcement activity, California communities and the nonprofit organizations serving them are facing many threats and challenges.   

Funders have expressed dire concerns over the potential cuts to essential resources such as health care access, food and nutritional supports, disaster recovery, and housing and homelessness prevention programs for millions of Californians. There’s growing apprehension over violent, unlawful actions perpetrated by ICE and federal law enforcement in California and elsewhere around the country. This is an opportunity to uplift a unified philanthropic voice on these issues to representatives in our state Assembly and Senate, state agencies, and advocate for a state budget that will more effectively address some of these concerns. 

Participants in the Philanthropy in Sacramento program will:  

  • Connect with peers from across the State working on policy issues 

  • Elevate key topics impacting communities across California 

  • Gain direct experience engaging with legislative offices and state agencies 

Please confirm your attendance here and a staff member from the respective regional association will reach out to you.
