2027 Budget and Tax Briefing Logo

Since 2004, EOF has hosted an Annual Budget and Tax Briefing to engage national, regional, and local philanthropy in crucial budget and tax policy discussions. It is the only annual event of its kind focused on philanthropy and budget and tax policy.

About the 2027 Budget and Tax Briefing

How will federal budget and tax decisions shape supports and services for workers, families, and communities? How are states responding, and what opportunities lie ahead in a shifting political landscape?

Join us in 2027 to explore strategies to:

  • Navigate the new political landscape and help shape federal and state policies affecting workers, families, and communities.
  • Support state responses to HR1 and other federal actions to protect essential supports, resist harmful changes, and pursue innovation.
  • Strengthen Social Security for the long term by addressing the looming funding shortfall, protecting beneficiaries, and advancing equity.
  • Advance government renewal and reform by protecting core institutions and building a shared vision for a more equitable, resilient, and accountable public sector.

Cross-Sector Focus

We bring together a diverse group of funders to connect across sectors and help break down silos. Participants offer a wide range of perspectives and manage grant portfolios in early childhood, education, health, human services, income security, immigration, work supports, and more.

Local + National Participation

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