Every community foundation wants more unrestricted endowment. The question is whether your organization is actually designed to produce it. In this candid and practical session, Ralph Serpe will discuss what it takes to transform a community foundation into an unrestricted endowment-building machine. From board culture and staff expectations to donor conversations and legacy giving strategies, participants will learn how successful community foundations systematically generate unrestricted assets rather than simply hope they appear. Whether your community foundation has $100,000 or $100 million in unrestricted assets, this session will provide actionable ideas to help you build a larger permanent endowment, secure more legacy commitments, and strengthen your community foundation's role as the steward of your community's future.
