Administrative fees support the Foundation as a steward of charitable resources and a provider of wide-ranging community services.

The administrative fee is an annual rate based on the type of fund and is assessed quarterly on the average daily balance of the fund for the previous quarter. All fees are calculated quarterly according to the fee schedule below or a minimum of $250 per year, whichever is higher. This minimum fee will be waived on new funds for the first full year from the date of the fund’s establishment.

Funds are also charged for direct costs incurred by the fund, such as appraisal fees, legal fees and probate costs. There is no fee to establish a fund. These fees are not inclusive of the investment management fees. This fee schedule is effective as of January 1, 2021 and replaces previous schedules.
