To measure longitudinal growth using a consistent sample, focus is kept on the largest 100 community foundations by asset size as reported in FY18. Assets grew by slightly more than 1 percent for this group, while total gifts increased for the third consecutive year and now approach $10B, and grantmaking grew for the seventh straight year.
Data reflects the largest 100 community foundations by asset size as of FY 2018 and includes those within the cohort whose data are available for all 10 years (n=98).
