Investment Performance

The Pasadena Community Foundation has investment objectives that focus on long-term growth.

For endowed funds, our goal is to grow the fund, after annual distributions, at a rate that keeps pace with inflation. Thus the grant making power of the endowments are protected.
For long-term investment funds, our track record of investment performance helps to maximize the amount of charitable distributions.
