Administrative Fees
The Marin Community Foundation charges an administrative fee for funds that are housed at the Foundation. For donor-advised, scholarship, field-of-interest, designated beneficiary, and unrestricted funds, this fee is 0.5% (50 basis points) or $500 annually, whichever is greater.
Investment Fees
MCF passes the fees charged by the investment managers through to each fund. These typically range between 5 and 75 basis points annually, depending on the donor's investment allocation choice between the Equity, Socially Screened Equity, Fixed Income, Enhanced Cash, and Money Market Pools.
Expense on the Sale of Gifts
When brokers, agents, or others charge fees for liquidating stocks or other assets (such as real estate) made as gifts to a fund, these fees are passed through to the fund.
Note that there is never a fee for opening any type of fund at MCF.
