A dynamic, purpose-driven initiative
developed by and for community foundation leaders.

WE’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE

As former CF leaders, we understand the unique role you play as a civic leader in your region and the enormous promise each community foundation holds. We also know the challenges you face as a CEO, staff, or board leader. Working side by side, we deliver practical solutions to help you and your team excel and adapt in the ever-evolving philanthropic landscape.

We understand your unique challenges.

WHAT SETS US APART

We spoke with dozens of community foundation leaders and national field-building organizations to inform our approach. Nearly every one told us they needed more technical capacity and field-specific expertise during three pivotal junctures:

  • When creating or clarifying a bold strategy

  • When trying to operationalize goals and organizational changes

  • When orienting new team members, board members, or CEOs

You told us what you need and when you need it. So we established the Community Foundation Impact Initiative to help CF staff and board leaders lean into critical moments and build their capacity to go further, faster.

To learn more about the insights and suggestions provided by our community foundation leaders, we share "Key Community Foundation Challenges and Consulting Priorities" with the field.
