Nonprofit Investing Survey results for 2021

The SEI Nonprofit Management Research Panel completed a comprehensive survey of executives and investment committee members from nonprofits in North America to dive into recent challenges including how nonprofits are addressing COIVD-19 and how they are incorporating diversity into their organization and investments.

The survey was completed by 102 participants representing nonprofits with endowments ranging in size from $25 million to more than $5 billion. None of the respondents are current clients of SEI. The poll was conducted in January 2021 and is in a series of 5 chapters.

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that your investment objectives will be achieved nor that risk can be managed successfully. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. High yield bonds involve greater risks of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of their investments.
