Registration and logistics for

How to register:

IHRFG uses an on-line registration process, but registration is not yet opened for the January 2009 conference.  Please check back soon.

Eligibility: This meeting is only open to grantmakers.  Current IHRFG members and individuals eligible for membership may attend the Semi-Annual Meetings.

IHRFG is open to staff, consultants and trustees of private foundations, public charities (public foundations and community foundations) whose primary activity is grantmaking and who do not relate to other members primarily as grantseekers, corporate foundations and community giving programs, governmental giving programs, faith-based giving programs, philanthropic advocacy and support organizations and individual philanthropists with significant giving programs. Only individuals whose functions include grantmaking activities (please note: staff whose functions are solely fundraising are not eligible for participation in IHRFG activities).

To become an IHRFG member, click here. IHRFG dues are voluntary, apply to member institutions (not individuals), and based on foundation size. While we strongly encourage the contribution of dues, the full benefits of IHRFG membership remain open to all, regardless of contribution.

Costs:.  IHRFG will charge a daily meal fee of $50 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.
