Addressing Common Growth Issues
This division of Twelve Points Wealth Management was created to address many of the common growth issues experienced by foundations and endowments as they increase in size and scope of giving.
As an endowment and foundation committee, there are many choices that you must make so that your assets can accomplish three things:
Provide sufficient income to accomplish the funding goals for your Foundation or Endowment’s projected fiscal year expenditures.
Grow your principal while being mindful of protecting the gifts donors have already entrusted to you.
Ensure that you have appropriate support from your outside consultants to fulfill your fiduciary obligations.

As a company we are very involved in the nonprofit community on four fronts:
We manage assets with an emphasis on asset preservation similar to those large endowments which tends to resonate with donors who understand their gifts will be protected.
We have developed a Successful Donor Engagement Program to assist our nonprofit partners and clients in raising funds by turning “good” donors into “great” donors.
We use our training as Accredited Investment Fiduciaries (AIFs) to bring the best practices of the country’s largest endowments to smaller foundations and their boards. Examples include our Committee Member Training, Fiduciary Audit File Checklist and Foundation Report Card.
We have pledged to give a minimum of 5% of profits to charity annually.
In fact, at Twelve Points, we believe in a philosophy of Philanthropy First. Our four principals have all been deeply involved in the non-profit community throughout their lives. From homelessness to cancer research, each of them has volunteered hundreds of hours a year to the charities that they are passionate about.
