March 3, 2010 Columbus Survey: Community Foundation Based on the recently released Columbus Survey, the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County again ranks among the top community foundations in the United States, coming in seventy-ninth with assets of $127,000,000 out of a field of approximately 500 peers. This makes the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County the second largest in the state of Indiana, smaller only than the Central Indiana Community Foundation (assets of $471,000,000) which serves Indianapolis and Marion County. Conducted by FSG Social Impact Advisors, a nonprofit organization that advises foundations, corporations, governments, and nonprofit organizations, the Columbus Survey is an annual field-wide survey. Begun in 1993 by the Columbus Foundation, it represents a comprehensive, longitudinal view of the community foundation field. The most recent Columbus survey was based on data from the 2008 fiscal year; rankings based on 2009 data will be available in the second quarter of 2010.
