ICF's endowment is structured for reliable, durable growth through disciplined asset allocation and risk management. We compare favorably over the long term: our 9.2% 10-year average net return outpaces the 7.7% net return reported by the FY25 NACUBO-Commonfund Study, which benchmarks university and foundation endowments nationwide. This demonstrates how our steady approach supports expanded, sustainable grantmaking for Idaho communities.
Nonendowed funds offer flexible investment options designed to match a donor's time horizon and risk preference. These funds may be invested for intermediate-term to short-term use, with allocations ranging from conservative, income-focused approaches to growth-oriented strategies. The chart below reflects investment performance. Returns fluctuate with market performance, allowing donors to align the investment approach with the timing and purpose of their giving.
