What other services does the Community Foundation offer to area nonprofit agencies? The Triangle Community Foundation has been managing endowments for the benefit of other nonprofit groups in the community since its inception in 1983 and considers the careful stewardship of agency endowments to be an integral part of its mission of expanding the charitable resources of the community. Agency endowments in the Triangle Community Foundation get greater diversification, greater protection against fluctuation, and lower fees than if the endowments were invested separately. In addition, the Foundation publicizes the endowment, provides technical assistance in endowment- building, and handles accounting, tax filing and audit for the endowment fund. Please call Fred Stang, Associate Director, at(919) 549-9840 for further information on agency endowments. Triangle Community Foundation Page 3 of 5 Information on Grants
