FFTC NONPROFIT SOLUTIONS CENTER FOR NONPROFIT SUSTAINABILITY

Comprehensive endowment management

The Center for Nonprofit Sustainability offers expertise in all facets of endowment management, including reporting, accounting and complex spendable income policies and procedures. We can manage multiple funds established for distinct purposes, ease the burden of administration and help ensure that a donor’s wishes are honored in perpetuity. We also give your organization the ability to address changing needs with a unique quasi-endowed option that combines long-term investment opportunities with a high degree of flexibility.

Planned giving, legal and financial expertise

FFTC offers resources that give your organization added capacity in the areas of planned giving, legal, finance, reporting and accounting. We enable nonprofits of all sizes to accept a wide variety of assets — including real property and non-voting business interests — and provide expertise that eases the management of complex gifts and charitable trusts. We will also keep you informed on key endowment, legislative and compliance issues affecting the nonprofit community.

Cost-effective and customized investment solutions

A partnership with FFTC allows you to leverage our resources, giving you access to top investment managers and multiple investment options specifically designed to build nonprofit sustainability. Our broad investment platform creates immediate diversi- fication and can reduce investment costs for your organization. Most importantly, we offer a level of oversight and stewardship that allows your staff and volunteers to focus on your unique mission and programs.

Stewardship and sustainability

The Center for Nonprofit Sustainability can help the assets of your organization grow, strengthen your donor relation-ships and create long-term sustainability for your organization. Our team will work with your development staff to encourage investment in your mission, and to streamline complex processes that sometimes create a barrier to giving. We provide opportunities for education through events and seminars, and connect your organization to the broader nonprofit community in ways that can amplify the power of your programs and help you carry out your mission with the greatest possible impact.

FFTC brings endowment expertise to higher education

Queens University of Charlotte is one of a growing number of colleges and universities partnering with FFTC. Queens University of Charlotte leve- rages Foundation For The Carolinas’ endowment expertise. The partnership allows the university to focus on what it does best: providing a comprehensive education in liberal arts and professional studies to more than 2,400 under-gradu-ate and graduate students. All the while, FFTC manages the endowment fund accounting and investing to ease the burden of administration. The Center for Nonprofit Sustainability offers clients expertise in all facets of endowment management, including reporting, accounting and complex spendable income policies.

Expertise to sustain a beloved institution

The partnership between the interna-tionally renowned Mint Museum and Foundation For The Carolinas has remained a valued constant over decades of change. Access to FFTC endowment services helps the museum maximize its resources, minimize its investment costs and build long-term stability. Within FFTC’s subsidiary foundation, the Foundation for the Mint Museum, the Mint engages its own leadership while we provide expert management for the many FFTC Agency Funds and donor-designated endow-ments that support the museum’s work and mission. We sustain the funds that sustain the Mint, and help ensure that a beloved resource will continue to enrich our region for generations to come.
