Spending Policy

The Investment Policy Statement was adopted by the Board of Trustees of The Erie Community Foundation to ensure good philanthropic stewardship and prudent investment of its investment portfolio. The Board has delegated detailed financial oversight of the portfolio to the finance committee.

The performance objective is to grow the market value of assets net of inflation, spending, and expenses, over a full market cycle (generally defined as a three-to-five-year period) without undue exposure to risk.

Because the portfolio is expected to endure into perpetuity, and because inflation is a key component in its performance objective, the long-term risk of not investing in growth securities outweighs the short-term volatility risk. As a result, most assets will be invested in equity or equity-like securities.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 814.454.0843, and ask to speak to a member of the Finance Team.
