The Federation of Genealogical Societies is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation founded in January 1976[1] and headquartered in Austin, Texas. FGS links hundreds of U.S. based genealogy societies and their members.

FGS links the genealogy community by helping genealogical societies strengthen and grow. To do this, FGS publishes FORUM magazine, filled with articles pertaining to society management and genealogical news. FGS also publishes an extensive series of "Society Strategy Papers", covering topics about effectively operating a genealogical society.

FGS sponsors an annual conference with four days of lectures, including one full day devoted to society management topics.
