Fees for Managing Funds

Modest administrative fees enable us to provide general philanthropic services to improve our region. Our objective is to keep operating expenses at a moderate level while providing quality service to donors and nonprofit organizations.

Services to fund holders include administrative, audit, grantmaking, grantee accountability and reporting functions. In cases where special services may require direct costs to us, the fund will provide reimbursement in addition to the annual contribution made for general support.

Annual support from funds is based on the type of fund. The support contribution percentages shown below are applied to a fund's trailing 12-quarter average asset value calculated as of September 30 of the prior year.

Unrestricted Fund	1.00%
