Over the past decade, the FEG Community Foundation Survey has engaged more than 250 unique community foundations across 46 states, offering valuable insights to inform strategic decisions that help drive meaningful impact in local communities.
Originally designed to benchmark spending policies and asset allocation, the survey has evolved to address pressing topics such as values-aligned investing and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
Open to all U.S. community foundations, the survey is primarily completed by senior-level investment and finance decision-makers, providing high-quality, relevant insights. The 2025 edition features responses from 113 community foundations, representing a broad range of asset sizes—from under $25 million to over $1 billion.1
This initiative continues to be a trusted resource for community foundations seeking to align their financial strategies with their mission-driven goals.
