The State of the Field: Emerging Priorities Shaping Community Foundations’ Work
April 14 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT

Community foundations are operating in a rapidly evolving environment – one that requires clarity about the issues shaping communities, philanthropy, and leadership across the country. Drawing on findings from CFLeads’ 2026 Issues of Interest Survey, this webinar will highlight the priorities, challenges, and opportunities community foundations are navigating today and what those insights signal for the field moving forward.
CFLeads will share key themes emerging from the survey, examine areas of alignment and divergence across the field, and explore how these insights can inform leadership practice, strategy, and collaboration.
Participants will gain:
- A field-wide snapshot of the issues community foundations identify as most pressing
- Insight into emerging trends shaping local, place-based philanthropy
- Perspective on how national leaders and philanthropic institutions can better support community foundation leadership
- An overview of how CFLeads is translating survey findings into learning priorities, programs, and resources
This session is designed for community foundation CEOs, senior leaders, and partners who want to understand where the field is headed—and how to lead with greater insight and impact.
