About Us Donors Nonprofit Excellence Programs & Initiatives Scholarships Professional Advisors Board/Commitee Volunteer

Most funds held by The Lancaster County Community Foundation are pooled and invested according to the foundation’s Investment Policy Statement.  Even though fund assets are pooled, the foundation separately accounts for each fund as to changes resulting from contributions, investment purchases and sales, fees and distributions (according to U.S. Treasury regulations).

 

The foundation’s Board of Directors maintains a volunteer Investment Advisory Committee.  This committee oversees investment policies and selects investment managers.  It also monitors asset allocations, risk parameters, diversification, and performance.  The following chart indicates current portfolio allocations.
