How Community Foundations are Responding to the Current Economic Landscape & Meeting the Moment
Monday, August 4, 2025, @ 10 AM PT, 11 AM MT, 12 PM CT, 1 PM ET
In a time of economic uncertainty, shifting donor expectations, and increasing community needs, how are community foundations adapting to meet the moment? Join us for a peer exchange conversation that explores how foundations of all sizes are navigating today’s economic landscape—responding to external pressures while staying rooted in their mission.
This session will spotlight creative strategies foundations are using to:
- Engage donors with clarity and transparency
- Support nonprofits facing resource constraints
- Leverage community leadership and convening power
- Adapt advocacy and communications in a polarized climate
Panelists from small, mid-sized, and large foundations will share real-world examples of how they’re balancing responsiveness with long-term sustainability. Attendees will walk away with practical ideas, lessons learned, and a sense of solidarity in navigating shared challenges.
