Council & CEONet | Community Foundation CEO Roundtable - November 2023

Community foundation executives were invited to join a virtual Q&A discussion with the Council's Director, Legal Services to bring clarity to the legal landscape surrounding the Supreme Court decision and its potential implications for community foundations. The U.S. Supreme Court issued its ruling on two cases: Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v. Harvard and SFFA v. University of North Carolina (UNC), which has impending impacts on philanthropic organizations, specifically for community foundations. This roundtable discussion with Ben McDearmon, Director of Legal Services was an engaging session designed for community foundation leaders that will explore the significance of these court rulings, provide the latest updates, and address critical questions on how this might impact your community foundation.
During this event, participants had the unique opportunity to:
- Stay informed: Gain a deeper understanding of the recent Supreme Court decision and its relevance to your community foundation’s operations.
- Get questions answered: Attendees got legal questions from our knowledgeable staff, who provided insight and guidance tailored to the specific concerns of community foundations.
