Fund investment

Financial investment may be a large deciding factor for you and your client.

Clients are welcome to discuss the potential for their assets to remain under the management of their choosing but this is only applicable for larger funds.

With any gift to a community foundation, the assets are irrevocable and the foundation has the right to bring the funds back under its management at any time if the investments are no longer in line with the policy set by the foundation and are not in the best interest of the donor. This decision would be made with great care and in communication with the donor and the financial adviser.
