Jefferson County Community Foundation is in a unique position to service the needs of donors while building community resources. It is a win win for everyone.

Investment Philosophy

JCCF is committed to earning a healthy return while protecting the assets entrusted to us.

The Foundation’s investment program benefits from broad diversification, which reduces the overall risk of the portfolio and provides for long-term growth.

Assets are currently placed in the Jefferson County Community Foundation Fund established at the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, a reputable, successful, and well-established community foundation. The JCCF Investment Committee monitors the fund closely.

JCCF’s Investment Committee is comprised of at least two current board directors and selected community members. The committee meets a minimum of four times a year to review investment reports and prepare materials mailed to fund holders with their quarterly statements. A JCCF Board Director/Investment Committee member is also a member of the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation Investment Committee. JCCF works closely with GTCF to monitor investments. The Finance Committee and information related to specific funds is available upon request.
