Investment Management 

When you make a gift to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, you expand its capacity to fulfill its philanthropic mission.  Our goal is to preserve the future grantmaking capacity of your gift and provide sufficient funds to make current grants.  Therefore, we invest your funds to deliver the same support in tomorrow's dollars as they do now, whether tomorrow is five, ten or fifty years away.

**The return figures are derived from quarterly surveys conducted by Cambridge Associates of its clients. The endowment universe includes colleges and universities, independent schools, museums and libraries, foundations, medical endowments and other endowed institutions. All clients in the sample were clients of the firm (and provided complete performance data) for the entire time periods displayed. Not all clients respond to the surveys. Some clients report returns net of investment-related fees and expenses, while others report only gross of fees.
