Community Foundations

The survey began in 2015 as a client request for peer comparison on asset allocation and performance. Recognizing a lack of information on enterprise topics, FEG expanded the scope of the survey and made it available to community foundations nationwide for a more comprehensive view of the landscape. Since inception, hundreds of community foundations have participated to help inform themselves and their peers!

Thank you to all of the community foundations who participated in the FEG 2024 Community Foundation Survey! The study includes a survey of 107 U.S. Community Foundations across 31 states. The survey was open for responses online from January 16 - March 8, 2024. Participants did not pay to be included in the survey. Participants also had the option to complete as a word document and email the results back to FEG. The data from this survey will be shared during the 2024 June webinar.
