Subject: WHMC Fund treasurer's report
General
Endowment:
Assets
Income year-to-date
$1336.05
Grants made, year to date $
250.00
Special Endowment
Assets
Income year-to-date $
1,520.74
Grants made, year-to-date
$ 1,000.00
Under the IRS code, the Special
Endowment is expected to give away 5% of its assets each year, otherwise it
incurs additional taxes. Therefore it is advisable for the special
endowment to make total grants of at least $4850 this year, so the
recommendation is to make grants of $4,000 at this meeting.
There is no requirement for the
General Endowment to make contributions. Traditional practice is to give
approximately equal to income, but with interest rate and dividends low this
year and in the foreseeable future, thee board could consider retaining
earnings.
The portfolio of the general
endowment appears to be earning at a higher rate of return than that of the
special endowment. This deserves review.
