The Investment Program Every Nonprofit Deserves

A sound investment program is key to maximizing your financial resources so you can further your mission.

Your investment program is built on 3 pillars - Governance, Investments, and Communication.

Pillar One: Governance

Policy Documents

We ensure you have current and strong policy documents including an Investment Policy Statement and that these are always easily accessible to your oversight group.

Best Practices

We help you put into place and preserve an investment program that survives normal staff and board member turnover that organizations experience. A strong program starts with establishing best fiduciary practices modeled after the largest nonprofit institutions.

Education & Donor Support

Our advisory team provides ongoing education to your committee and board members on topics related to investment and governance policies. Experienced in working with donors, we will help with documents, reporting and campaign communications.

Pillar Two: Investments

Needs Assessment

Through our proprietary survey and meetings with your oversight group our advisors establish the purpose, needs, and risk capacity of your funds and help your members reach consensus on key investment decisions to be made.

Asset Allocation

Our team conducts an asset allocation study for you so we can recommend a specific portfolio that will maximize return for a given level of risk. Asset allocation drives 90%+ of your investment return so we’ll help your group be confident about how your portfolio is invested.

Investment Selection

Based on your preferences, we guide your selection of appropriate investment strategies from available passive index-based funds, ESG/SRI strategies, or separately managed accounts. We provide education to your board of the investments selected, allowing all stakeholders to understand the portfolio.

Pillar Three: Communication

Proactive Reporting

Our reporting is designed specifically for endowment, foundation and nonprofit committees, and board members, to make sure you have the information you need to fulfill your fiduciary responsibilities and track the progress of your investments.

Advisor Team Access

Our advisors have worked together for many years and take a team approach to managing client portfolios. You will have a primary relationship manager as well as easy access to the entire team and we are always available by phone, email, or Zoom meetings.

Oversight Member Hub

eCIO created the industry’s first communication platform designed specifically for nonprofit organizations and their investment programs. Your oversight group will have 24/7 access to your investment program information. The eCIO portal also serves as a secure, online platform that enables your committee and board members to drive better communication, organization, and collaboration.
