More on Endowment Management
Cumberland Community Foundation manages the endowments of many local nonprofit organizations. These funds were established to support specific nonprofit organizations in southeastern North Carolina. The Foundation offers consistent stewardship, professional investment management, and effective administration, all at a reasonable cost. (Click here to go to list of Organizational Endowments of CCF.)

Benefits of pooled fund management include more favorable returns and modest fees. The Foundation also publicizes the endowment fund and can assist organizations in receiving sophisticated and planned gifts. Please contact the Foundation for more information about how your organization can benefit from having an endowment that provides a permanent income stream to support your mission and activities. For more information about building an endowment for your nonprofit, please call Mary Holmes at (910) 483-4449 or e-mail mary@cumberlandcf.org.
