- Donors of family philanthropies
- Board members of family philanthropies
- Senior staff of family philanthropies
- Consultants or advisors who are attending as a representative of a family philanthropy and not of their consultancy

Additionally, up to two staff members from each community foundation that is a part of NCFP's Community Foundations Network may attend. Up to two staff members from philanthropy-serving organizations (affinity groups and regional associations of grantmakers) that are Network Partners of NCFP may also attend.
Representatives of for-profit entities may partner with NCFP via sponsorship if they are not representing a specific family philanthropy.
National Forum on Family Philanthropy registrants must be 18 years of age or older. Please contact us about exceptions if you are a nursing parent.

Non-Solicitation
To provide an environment where donors and those who work with them are able to share and learn from one another, NCFP maintains a non-solicitation policy at its National Forum on Family Philanthropy. While NCFP hopes its event can be a place for colleagues to connect and develop partnerships, the Forum should remain primarily a space for learning and networking. Solicitation includes, but is not limited to: requesting funding for any purpose, distributing grant proposals, or requesting business.
Attendees should not use attendee lists for solicitation, including to promote events held in conjunction of the Forum or thereafter.
Any person and/or organization found to be violating this policy may be asked to leave without refund of registration fees, and such activity may result in the inability to attend future NCFP events.
Reporting
Please make any reports of harassment or solicitation to NCFP’s Chief Operating Officer Diana Heath or NCFP’s Chief Impact Officer Miki Akimoto. Additionally, any NCFP staff person can help you connect with either Diana or Miki.
NCFP reserves the right to update our policies at any time. Please continue to refer back to this website for updates on policies and procedures.
