Survey: Foundations Respond to a New Political Context

The Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) conducted a survey of foundation leaders about how they are reacting to the new administration, and the degree to which they are making changes as a result. Based on survey responses from 162 CEOs of US independent and community foundations making at least $5 million in grants annually, CEP has released a new report titled Shifting Winds: Foundations Respond to a New Political Context.

The study reveals that the reactions and responses of US foundations to the recent shift in national political context vary widely, but most foundations are changing their practices or shifting their emphases.
