Investment and Administrative Fees

Due to the generosity of Virginia Brazeau and the Richard S. Brazeau Family Foundation, most of the administrative expenses of the Community Foundation have been underwritten with direct grant support since 1994. It was the intent of the Brazeau Family Foundation to support the asset growth of the CFGSWC to the extent that when an administrative fee would be assessed on all component funds beginning in 2002, the fee itself would be reasonable and provide for the ongoing support and growth of the Foundation. To that point, when determining a fair and equitable fee structure, the Board and Staff of CFGSWC studied the complexity of and support required by specific fund types. 

The Community Foundation is committed to providing professional administration and investment oversight to all of our component funds—in perpetuity. To do so, we ask that you consider your administrative fee a direct investment in the future of our organization and its ability to have a positive impact in the South Wood County area.
