Costs: IHRFG will charge a daily meal fee of $65 to cover the cost of breakfast , lunch and beverages on both days. To cut down on food waste and cost to members, our online registration process gives you the option of paying for only the days and optional events that you will attend.  We encourage the attendance of grantmaking staff at all levels who are interested in exploring human rights.  If you would like to attend but cannot pay the meeting fee, please contact Addison Smith.
