Donor Investment Alternatives

Although the Fremont Area Community Foundation prefers to manage long-term investments according to a defined asset allocation model, the Foundation does allow donors to recommend alternative investment managers for gifts of $100,000 or greater, assuming the absence of material restriction.* All such recommendations are subject to approval by the Foundation's Board of Directors.

* A material restriction is a restriction or condition that prevents a community foundation from “freely and effectively employing the transferred assets, or the income derived there from, in the furtherance of its exempt purposes.”
