Research Briefing: Mapping Foundation Responses and Nonprofit Needs Amid Ongoing Challenge

A briefing from the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP)

Tuesday, September 29, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EDT)

Event Details

Join us for a briefing on the latest data collected by CEP on how foundations are responding to the current context, what nonprofits say they most need from funders right now, and where there are gaps between the two. In a 45-minute session, Elisha Smith Arrillaga, Ph.D., vice president of Research at CEP, and CEP President Phil Buchanan will be joined by Tony Richardson, president of The George Gund Foundation and CEP's Board Chair, to discuss the implications of just-collected CEP data for funders' evolving responses to the ongoing challenges facing the nonprofit sector. This session is designed to be brief and action-oriented, held in tandem with the release of a full report on the new research.
