While 2020 was an unusual year for many endowments and foundations, there are critical lessons to be learned about continuing to operate and fundraise during a time of market volatility and personal crisis.
Magnolia is pleased to share the findings from its third annual Endowment & Foundation Survey, highlighting the unique characteristics of nonprofits with long-term investment assets between $5 million and $250 million. The 2020 survey includes responses from more than 170 organizations and provides an exclusive snapshot of how these nonprofits continue to serve their missions even during the COVID-19 crisis.
In this webinar recording, James Smith, director of Magnolia's endowment and foundation practice, and financial advisors Christina Doe and Scott Dunphy review notable survey findings, including:
