Members' Policy Forum

Help us ensure that policy and legislation supports and sustains a strong and vibrant foundation sector.

ACF's Members' Policy Forum is an established initiative that aims to increase opportunities for all our members to engage directly with ACF’s policy work, raise issues of interest and concern, and regularly engage with policy-makers and key external stakeholders. 

As part of the Forum, you will: 

• receive a monthly e-bulletin with the latest policy developments 
• be invited to regular events throughout the year
• receive briefings, blogs and other written resources on key policy issues relevant to foundations.  

We would be delighted for even more of our ACF members to join the Forum. If you would like to find out more information, have ideas for the Forum, or want to be involved, please email your name, member organisation and job role to [email protected].

Government officials will provide an overview of their strategic approach to working with the charity sector and plans for the year ahead. It will also be an opportunity for you to put your questions to them and enable policymakers to hear directly about your insights, priorities, and challenges from the foundation perspective.
