Our Approach

CHFI supports each Portfolio Manager to invest each year for each organization in their portfolio. It is our hope that the relationship will strengthen and that the financial support will be giving annually for at least 3 years. To complement this investment and expand the non-profit’s objectives; CHFI will seek additional financial support from investors, who may direct funds to specific Managers or generally to CHFI for allocation at its discretion. Contributions to the CHFI model are an extraordinary, vital investment in lasting change, where the guiding principles of fund-of-hedge-funds foster a cycle of carefully researched and monitored decisions.

CHFI’s selected non-profit partner will be expected to communicate quarterly summaries of activities that demonstrate overall progress made toward the goals that the volunteer manager and the organization’s representative have set. The organization’s contact person will communicate goals met. This information will then be communicated by the Manager to the Foundation’s Executive Management team.

The first selected non-profit partners received their first disbursement of financial support in December 2012. Each year, financial support installments will be decided by the Portfolio Manager and based on the needs and timeline of their chosen non-profits.

Where We Focus Support:

CHFI is dedicated to partnering with non-profits serving the needs of the Triangle region of North Carolina (Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Carrboro) and will select accordingly.
