The council is led by Kathleen P. Enright, who serves as its CEO and president, and Jay Williams, who is the chairman of the board of directors. [2] [3]

Mission and role

The Council on Foundations serves as a membership association for grant-making foundations and corporations, supporting the philanthropic sector through leadership, advocacy, and resources. [4] In line with its advocacy role, the Council has engaged in national policy efforts. In 2025, it joined a coalition opposing provisions in H.R.1, a bill that proposed increased excise taxes on private foundations. The Council argued that such measures would reduce the funds available for charitable grants and negatively impact non-profit organizations reliant on foundation support. [5]
