Since CF Insights went live at the Council one year ago, over 50% more community foundations have started using this peer benchmarking tool. Attendees watched a guided demonstration to learn how their community foundation could benefit from the only dataset of its kind. 

During this webinar, we:

• Showed you how to utilize the CF Insights benchmarking platform to search for relevant peers and generate detailed comparative reports.
• Discussed how to interpret the data to support internal decision-making.
• Explained how you can gain full access to these tools and receive dedicated support from Council staff through the Plus Membership for Community Foundations.

This webinar gave an overview of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision and its implications. Panelists explained the ruling's specifics, discussed what it means in practice, and framed the case in the context of ongoing legal and policy issues. Registrants submitted questions in advance, which were addressed during a Q&A the webinar.
