There's no doubt about it: our donors are the "heart and soul" of The Community Foundation.  We wouldn't be here without you.  Let our expert staff serve you -- with investment options, questions about area nonprofit organizations, and causes you'd like to learn more about.  We are here for you.

Fee Structure

All advised funds are charged an appropriate allocation of direct and indirect expenses attributable to the administration of component funds as well as to further the mission of The Community Foundation to meet the compelling charitable needs of Metropolitan Washington.  Please reference the following fee structure:

• A 1.1 % management fee from fund balance of each advised fund is required annually. (For those funds that exceed $3 million in fund balance a sliding fee scale takes effect: 1.1% on the first $3 million, 0.60% on the next $2 million, and 0.35% above $5 million). 

• For those funds invested in the combined investment fund, there is an annual 0.5% management fee.  

Note:  For cases in which a donor requests extraordinary activities, additional charges may be assessed based on the concurrence of both the Community Foundation and the donor.
