2026 Community Foundation Trends and Priorities
Community foundations play a vital role in building strong communities and advancing equitable, long-term solutions to local challenges. At CFLeads, we support this work by strengthening community leadership – helping foundations navigate complexity, respond to emerging needs, and lead with clarity and purpose.
This report reflects what we’ve heard from the field. Drawing on insights from hundreds of community foundation leaders nationwide, it highlights shared priorities, emerging challenges, and opportunities for action. These insights directly shape CFLeads’ programming and partnerships – including initiatives like Economic Mobility and Community Foundations for Civic Health – ensuring our work remains responsive, relevant, and grounded in the evolving needs of the field.
