The board has a policy of appropriating for distribution each year only funds needed in an emergency situation and plans on retaining funds in the board designated endowment for growth. In establishing this policy, the organization considered the long-term expected return on its invest assets, the nature and expected duration of its endowment funds, and the possible effect of inflation. The organization expects the current spending policy to allow its endowment funds to grow at a nominal average rate of approximately 3% annually. This is consistent with the organization's objective to maintain the purchasing power of its endowment assets as well as to provide real growth through new gifts and return on investments.”
