Our Fees

The cost of providing services to our funds varies according to the net asset balance. The fee structure is on a sliding scale for funds under and over $1 million in size, decreasing in a stepped fashion as fund size increases. We are comparable to other Community Foundations and ever changing with the economic climate and needs of our funds. The fees include the cost of the Community Foundation staff completing due diligence, confirming the appropriate use of granted funds, board oversight of grantmaking and other shared administrative costs such as accounting, communication, gift acknowledgment, honorariums and reporting services.

There is currently a .50 basis point fee for pass-through funds to nonprofit organizations and no minimums to establish a fund. There are no additional fees for due diligence, site visits, requested research, gift acknowledgments or honorariums.

For nonprofit organizations that may need multiple gifts acknowledgments surrounding a special event, there may be additional administrative fees. Please contact the Foundation if you have any questions concerning our fee structure.
