It is the intent of The Board of Trustees to maintain the endowment and utilize the total return (income plus capital change) to further the mission of The Organization. In recognition of the prudence required of fiduciaries, reasonable diversification of quality investment securities will be sought where possible, knowing that fluctuating rates of return are a characteristic of the investment market and performance cycles cannot be accurately predicted. The fund may be held in fixed-income and equity funds, and may be further diversified into other asset classes.
