Investment Performance

The financial objective of MaineCF’s investment program is to preserve and grow the real value of its assets in perpetuity to provide a sufficient rate of return to fulfill philanthropic purposes of the community foundation and its donors. At the same time, the board recognizes the role that non-financial factors can play in creating or potentially limiting value for investors. These include environmental, social, governance, diversity, equity, and inclusivity (ESG & DEI) considerations.

MaineCF is committed to partnering with investment managers who demonstrate constructive engagement with ESG and DEI factors. In partnership with its investment consultant, Monticello Associates, the investment committee will undertake the following oversight of its program.
