• 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.  ested in the combined investment fund is required annually and forwarded to the investment managers.

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.
