Endowments and Foundations

Small and mid-size endowments and foundations face unique challenges

Smaller endowments and foundations typically experience a higher turnover in staff, have fewer in-house resources to leverage, and need to minimize operational costs. They must balance these things while also generating long-term results that are lower risk. Without access to in-house expertise, small and mid-size endowments and foundations often rely on outside partners for guidance. That’s where we come in.
