Please see our various fund descriptions by clicking on our links at the bottom of this page. In a permanent endowment fund, principal remains in the fund to generate earnings for distributions year after year. A pass-through or impermanent fund permits principal as well as earnings to be distributed from time to time. You can always change an impermanent fund's status to permanent later. An Investment Committee, composed of outstanding investment professionals from our community, guides the management of endowment fund assets.
Fees vary depending on the nature of the fund.
A complete fee schedule is readily available upon request. Donors to our funds receive the Community Foundation's Annual Report and Newsletters as well as regular statements showing income to and grant payments from the funds they have established with us. They may also meet with members of our staff and consultants to discuss any aspect of charitable giving. The Foundation distributes funds through competitive grants, projects, scholarships and at the request of donor-advisors.
