Investment Fund Management
The Foundation values sustainable investment methods that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ALL investments are positioned to be in alignment with principles of John Wesley’s social holiness movement.
Six Socially Responsible Investment Funds

Entities can participate in one or more investment funds to achieve an investment strategy to fit its unique circumstances.- The Balanced Fund is a “fund of funds” and holds a pre-specified allocation of domestic and international stocks, bonds, fixed income, commodities, and cash.
- The Fixed Income Fund invests in a diverse mix of fixed income and inflation protection securities.
- The Equity Growth Fund maintains a diverse actively and passively managed portfolio of domestic and international equities.
- The Values Plus Fixed Income Fund invests in a diverse mix of fixed-income securities with an added emphasis on environmental and social performance.
- The Values Plus Equity Growth Fund is a passively managed index fund benchmarked to the Russell 3000 with an added emphasis on environmental and social performance.
- The Short Term Cash Fund is positioned for liquidity, similar to a money market fund. Underlying investments are through local bank money market and/or repurchase agreements and socially responsible church development funds.
