Welcome to the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s coverage of the Council on Foundations annual meeting, which kicks off tonight just outside of Washington.

Our reporters and editors will be posting updates from the meeting throughout the next few days on this blog.

We will also be playing host to a live online discussion focusing on foundations and diversity this Tuesday at noon.

If you are at the meeting, please feel free to stop by the Chronicle’s booth, No. 703. in the exhibit hall. And if you have any suggestions or questions, please send an e-mail message to our Web editor, Peter Panepento.
