It also depends on how permanent you wish your fund to be. 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 investment professionals from our community, guides the management of endowment fund assets.
Fees depend on the nature and size of the fund .
Please call or email us to request a fee schedule. Donors who create funds at ETCF receive the 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, nonprofit endowment funds, scholarships and at the recommendation of donor advisors.
