FROM OUR DATA DESK

 

Welcome to the new format of the Community Foundation Survey.

Over the past year, many of you have asked for a cleaner, more flexible way to explore and share this report. We listened. Now you can view trends by peer group, more easily compare performance and allocations across time horizons, and download only the visuals you need.

It’s the same data you’ve come to rely on, just easier to work with. No PDF skimming required.

We’ve also made space for fresh insights and quick takes throughout, helping you spot shifts faster. The features we’ve prioritized reflect what we’ve consistently heard from you and your peers: make it simpler to benchmark, easier to pull what matters, and faster to turn data into action.

This is just the start. Thank you for your engagement and input, which will continue to shape what comes next.
