Dive into the expanded content live or listen to the recording at your convenience later during the year. From “blind-dates” matched by your interests to group discussions, interactive sessions, special events, and virtual “bar hopping” --- there are plenty of fun ways to connect, learn, and grow! The West and the East, the North and the South come together to network and share experiences with others just as passionate about community foundations."

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Cincinnati for the FEG 2019 Investment Forum!  We hope that our guests found the speakers and discussions insightful and informative. This year's theme was "Signs: Separating Signal from Noise in Markets, Politics, and Investments." 

We invite you to provide feedback, see event highlights, and download select session presentations.

In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, we will not hold the FEG 2020 Dallas Symposium on May 12. While we are disappointed not to host the event, we are excited to announce that we will offer educational value through a FEG podcast series, Dallas on Download. This limited audio series will highlight several of our planned speakers. Details regarding the podcast will be shared in the coming weeks.

11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Southeastern Council on Foundations (SECF), a membership association of grantmakers working together to strengthen, promote and increase philanthropy in 11 Southeastern states, provides a series of market overview webinars that provide guidance from experts in the field.

This month’s webinar features two FEG veterans – Jeff Davis, CAIA, Vice President and Consultant and Greg Dowling, CFA, CAIA, Co-CIO and Head of Research. The webinar will cover recent market developments specific to the effects of COVID-19.

The pandemic has already caused unprecedented turbulence in the markets and the overall economy. Foundations have been forced to worry about the value of their investments during a time when community needs demand strong and immediate action. Operating in these unique circumstances is challenging but can be done with thoughtful guidance, strategy, and communication.

The webinar is free to SECF members and nonmembers.  Click on the link below to register:
