The Philomath Community Foundation was formed at the request of local citizens who believed there was a need for a foundation that could receive grants, gift endowments and trusts that would to be used for community improvements and projects that would benefit the citizens of the greater Philomath area.
The Community Response Team (CRT) formed in the early 1990's and the Philomath Project Year 2000 committee determined, through a series of meetings, to unite. Using the existing non-profit status of the Philomath 2000 organization, the name was changed to Philomath Community Foundation. New by-laws were established, the Mission and Purpose statements were amended and the executive structure was modified. The new nine person Board of Directors commenced meeting in 1999 and has successfully transformed into an organized funding source for various projects, serving a variety of volunteer groups in and around Philomath. |

The objective of the Philomath Community Foundation’s (PCF) investment activity is to preserve its capital and maximize its return consistent with an appropriate risk. Investments are made in order to position the PCF for optimal investment success and long-term sustainability. Currently, the target portfolio established by the PCF is to maintain a mix of stocks and bonds/cash to achieve the Foundation objectives. This mix will vary depending on the market conditions. As a minimum, the PCF should, after preservation of capital, invest to earn returns sufficient to provide the annual charitable distributions plus the operating expenses of the Foundation.
The PCF has an investment committee to oversee the Foundation's investments and make recommendations to the PCF Board periodically as to the performance of the investments and whether a change in the portfolio mix is recommended. |
