CF Insights, the benchmarking platform designed specifically for community foundations, is now live at the Council! Council staff provided a deep dive into this powerful tool, informed by self-reported financial and operational data collected from the broader field.

During this webinar, Council staff provided a demonstration of how to use the CF Insights platform to search for peers and access detailed comparative data reports and discussed the ways in which you can leverage this information to inform strategic decisions that put you in the best position possible to serve your communities. Council staff also discussed how your community foundation can get unlimited access to CF Insights through the Council’s new Plus Membership for Community Foundations.
