Philanthropy Central
Philanthropy Philanthropy C E N T R A L
Working with others is at the heart of what we do at the Albuquerque Community Foundation. Whether it is partnering with donors, nonprofits, our business community or our public sector, we know that our strength lies in positive collaboration. Here in Albuquerque, we are fortunate to have a generous and engaged nonprofit sector that is invested in improving our city. We know that the effective management of organization endowment funds is an important way to maintain the strength of our community’s nonprofits. We believe that managing endowment funds through Philanthropy Central is one of the things we do best. It is a privilege to work together to ensure Albuquerque remains a city of generous visionaries.
There are two types of Philanthropy Central Funds: Organization Endowment Funds (where an agency establishes a fund with their money) and Donor-Designated Endowment Funds (where a donor establishes fund for the benefit of an agency).
Many of these organizations depend upon annual distributions from their endowment(s) for organizational support. Others choose to reinvest the annual distribution for faster growth.
By pooling the funds of an organization with the Foundation’s endowment, an organization can enjoy the benefits of a diverse investment portfolio, as well as low investment fees that typically come only with very large funds. Together in partnership we can accomplish more.
The following have entrusted their endowment(s) to the Foundation. Fund names are listed in bold type. Donors to the fund are listed in light type.
