This video is a recording of a live webinar held June 3 by Marquette consultants Stephanie Osten, Linsey Schoemehl Payne, and Mike Piotrowski, CAIA, discussing fiduciary responsibilities and best practices for endowment and foundation nonprofits.
We begin by outlining the fiduciary role, defining the term fiduciary in the context of nonprofit organizations, recognizing who qualifies as a fiduciary, and identifying the key duties and responsibilities of a fiduciary. From there, we describe the investment committee, including its key duties and best practices for both membership and investment program management. Finally, we conclude with general best practices, from recordkeeping to onboarding to governance.
