What are the ongoing fees for managing a fund?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2025

All funds under management are charged a 1% annual fee, deducted quarterly. This fee supports fund administration, investment oversight, donor reporting, and community grantmaking. External investment fees are at very attractive, philanthropic rates and built into our investment returns. We hold close working relationships with all our fund managers.

What fees apply when I set up a Named or Community Fund?

Saturday, August 2nd, 2025

We encourage an Establishment Donation of $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the fund’s size and complexity. This one-time donation helps cover the costs of setting up and administering your fund and contributes to the ongoing operations of the Foundation.

This donation can be made upfront or spread over time (e.g. if coming via a bequest or trust transfer, it’s taken from the final amount received).
