Each year EOF convenes a diverse group of 40-50 funders for an intimate in-person program in the Greater DC area. Since 2014, we have expanded our reach to hundreds of additional funders by web streaming our anchor plenary sessions and organizing local watch parties across the US.

We invite you to support this signature, two-day event by becoming a sponsor for the 2027 Budget and Tax Briefing. Your sponsorship helps engage national, regional, and local philanthropy in crucial budget and tax policy discussions. It covers the costs of bringing field partners, advocates, and policy experts to the Briefing as speakers and presenters, and supports funder watch parties nationwide, written session recaps, and follow-up learning and strategy conversations that build on the Briefing and reach additional funders.

All sponsors receive complimentary meeting registrations and recognition in our conference program, event signage, and marketing materials.

Since 2014, watch parties have extended the briefing to funders unable to attend in person. Hosts offer access to livestreams and recordings of the federal and state budget and tax outlook sessions, with the option to add a local or issue-specific discussion.

As a host, you manage registration and co-brand your watch party materials with EOF. You can offer the federal outlook session, the state outlook session, or both. EOF provides livestream links, recording links, and session recaps for you to share with registrants. 

There is no fee to participate.

Watch party options include:

1. Viewing + Supplemental Program: Add a local or issue-specific perspective by hosting an in-person or virtual discussion with experts on how the federal budget and tax landscape affects your state or area of interest, such as early childhood or workforce development. You can show the livestream or recording during your event, or ask attendees to watch it in advance. You may also share the state budget and tax outlook link for advance viewing.
2. Viewing Only: If you don’t have the capacity to host a supplemental program, you can offer registration for the federal outlook session, the state outlook session, or both. Simply share the corresponding Zoom livestream and recording links with your registrants so they can watch on their own.
