2025 Policy Outlook: What Endowments and Foundations Should Know

Looking back at 2024, uncertainty was the name of the game: inflation, interest rates, market volatility, emerging technology, recession potential, and geopolitical risks all played a role. As we enter 2025 and a new federal administration, public policy will take center stage. Amidst ongoing uncertainty, there are legislative actions experts agree will impact the endowments and foundations space.

On January 31st, Commonfund Institute sat down with policy experts from the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and the Council on Foundations (COF) for an important discussion to explore what proposals and actions will be on the table in 2025 – from tax policy to broader policies that may have implications for endowments and foundations.

Whether you are a leader of a college or university, foundation or independent school, a policy maker, or researcher, this webinar provides tools and insights to help you navigate the year ahead.
