Donors consider the following benefits of the Topeka Community Foundation when establishing a fund.
INVESTMENT WITH A LARGER POOL OF ASSETS
A fund can share a common asset pool, increasing the potential total return of investments.
INVESTMENT OVERSIGHT
The Foundation’s Investment Committee is composed of well-recognized financial professionals from the community. The committee meets on a quarterly basis to set investment objectives, monitor performance of the portfolio and take corrective action if
necessary. We employ a certified public accounting firm to prepare quarterly accounting and financial statements and conduct an independent audit each year.
CONFIDENCE
Donors have come to know and trust the Topeka Community Foundation as a repository for charitable funds. We can offer assurance to donors that their contributions will be used for the intended purpose.
