The Council on Foundations, founded in 1949, is a non-profit membership association of over 900 grant-making foundations and corporations around the world.[1]
The council is led by Kathleen P. Enright, who serves as its CEO and president, and Jay Williams, who is the chairman of the board of directors.[2][3]
Mission and role
editThe Council on Foundations serves as a membership association for grant-making 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 non-profit organizations reliant on foundation support.[5]
