HEFN welcomes non-corporate public and private funders to participate as HEFN Partners. Partners join as individuals, not as foundations.

HEFN offers different levels of engagement designed to fit the different needs and interests of our Partners. Most Partners receive no more than two monthly e-mails and are invited to participate in monthly conference calls. Others participate more actively in working groups or issue-focused listserv communications.

Some 190 funders currently participate as Partners in HEFN
