Transparent Fund Management for Maximum Impact
Fund Management & Fees
We take a thoughtful and responsible approach to managing charitable funds to ensure long-term growth and impact. Our financial stewardship is guided by experienced investment professionals and a commitment to transparency.
Investment Management
Our pooled investment portfolio is managed by experienced professionals from Merrill Lynch’s Investment Advisors:
- The Evelo, Singer, Sullivan, Bruegge Group
- JEMM Global Institutional Consulting Group
These advisors are overseen by the Foundation’s Investment Advisory Committee, which includes respected local community members, many with experience in finance. Our investment strategy balances growth with stability, ensuring that donor funds can make a lasting impact in our community.
Investment Advisory Committee Members
Funds that are actively invested through our pooled investment portfolio also pay an investment management fee, which averages less than 0.4% annually. This fee covers the cost of professional investment oversight and fund management.
