Fund Informal for mutual fund. A pool of liquidity that an investment company places in various securities and/or derivatives with the goal of producing a certain return. Mutual funds may carry greater or lesser risk, depending on their particular investment goals. Mutual funds are actively managed by the company to maintain the investment goals. The company issues shares that represent a portion of ownership in each of the securities underlying the fund. Mutual funds are designed for investors who wish to take advantage of a highly diversified portfolio without a large amount of capital. See also: Open-end, Close-end.

As a director of a grant makers' network Youth Transition Funders Group, I also recognize the importance of collaborative work among philanthropic organizations, the nonprofit sector, families, and public agencies. In addition to listing names, addresses, contacts, phone numbers, website addresses, trustees, total asset statements, total contributions, total number of grants, high and low grant figures, "What Funders Want You to Know", eligibility requirements, publications, and "Historical Patterns of Giving", this superbly arranged reference resource can be searched by foundation name, geographical location, officials names, and interests. Many funders today prefer a brief letter proposal; others require that you complete an application form before receiving an invitation to submit a full proposal; still others prefer a full proposal as a starting point. |
