We understand the responsibility of stewardship as it applies to your organization’s endowment.

Carnegie has always served clients as a fiduciary, which has been called the highest standard for a financial advisor. By working with Carnegie, you may confidently follow the vision of your nonprofit, knowing you have a sound investment plan.

Using our proven research experience, we create asset allocations and customized portfolios to support your mission.

At Carnegie, our firm’s stability and long-standing tenure serving foundations and nonprofit organizations allows us to build enduring relationships. We start with a thorough understanding of your organization's mission, values and resources. We then develop a financial plan to help strengthen your financial position and create strategies to weather the challenges and capture the opportunities ahead.  
​
Our foundation and nonprofit investment process, much like our other areas, is based on transparency and an open dialogue with your specific advisor. With foundations and nonprofits, we also facilitate and simplify communications among trustees, board members and you, as portfolio manager or manager of the foundation.
