Are you looking for a supportive community of funders to help you build constructive dialogue and understanding across differences? You’ll get just that with the Bridging Differences Leadership Cohort.
The Bridging Differences Leadership Cohort is a facilitated virtual learning experience meeting monthly from April 2024 until November 2024, hosted by the Council on Foundations in partnership with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley (GGSC). This course will support the work of the Council's Building Common Ground Strategic Pillar.
Find more information about the cohort, and a link to the application. Applications are due February 23, 2024 at midnight PT.
The following is a list of Annual Survey participants sorted by asset size, supplemented by publicly available information where available.
Staff and financial resources are important to monitor for smaller foundations who are looking to grow, and for larger foundations who are looking for the flexibility to diversify their offerings.
Donor-advised funds (DAFs) housed at community foundations represent a significant portion of the funds held in the field, and unsurprisingly experienced the same negative year over year changes in assets and fundraising that the field saw more broadly. Still, DAFs remain a highly active vehicle for philanthropy within the field, as the median community foundation reported a 13 percent increase in DAF grantmaking over 2021 levels.
The collective asset total among all reporting community foundations is 10 percent lower than the collective total for 2021. During a year in which the broader economy was experiencing a significant decline which impacted invested assets, 84 percent of all participating community foundations reported a negative year over year change in their asset totals, while 50 percent reported a decrease in fundraising totals from 2021.
The findings presented in this snapshot are based on data collected from over 220 community foundations reflecting fiscal year 2022, sourced from a combination of CF Insights Annual Survey responses and publicly available financial statements. The Council extends our thanks to all who have contributed data to inform these findings.
