Mission

The Cambodian Childrens Fund Endowment (CCFE) was established to grow investment portfolios and utilize the returns to exclusively support the activities of the Cambodian Childrens Fund (CCF) whenever funding needs arise.

Programs

  1. Purpose of the EndowmentThe Cambodian Childrens Fund Endowment (CCFE or the Endowment) was established to provide long-term, sustainable financial support to Cambodian Childrens Fund (CCF) in furtherance of its charitable and educational mission.The purpose of the Endowment is two-fold:First, to serve as a financial reserve or rainy day fund, providing stability and continuity of funding during periods of economic stress, fundraising disruption, or unexpected operating needs.Second, to be in a position to progressively support a significant portion of CCFs regular operating budget, defined as 50% or greater, over the long termparticularly in anticipation of a future period, currently expected to be approximately 10 years, when CCFs primary fundraiser may be less able to maintain current levels of fundraising activity.In furtherance of these objectives, CCFE has established a long-term target corpus of approximately $100 million, which the Board believes would allow the Endowment to provide meaningful, sustainable support to CCFs operations while maintaining long-term financial resilience.

  2. Guiding PrinciplesCCFE exists and its assets are managed solely to maintain and advance CCFs long term charitable mission.CCFEs investment and distribution decisions should balance the current needs of CCF and the need to cover unforeseen events with long term sustainability of the organizations mission.CCFE is operated consistent with maintaining public charity status as a California Public Benefit Organization.CCFE governance emphasizes active oversight and prudent stewardship balancing attractive potential returns without undue risk of loss.

  3. Investment Policy Investment ObjectiveThe Endowment seeks long-term real capital growth while maintaining a risk profile consistent with its charitable purpose and distribution objectives. Investment StrategyThe Endowment will be invested in a diversified portfolio appropriate for a long-term institutional investor.Long-Term Return AssumptionFor planning purposes, CCFE assumes a target nominal long-term investment return of approximately 9%, net of fees and prior to distributions. This assumption is used solely for long-term planning and does not represent a guarantee of future results.Distribution PolicyNear-Term Distribution Approach (Build Phase)During the current build phase, absent a change in circumstances at CCF, CCFE will make regular but measured distributions given the focus on reinvestment of returns to grow the Endowment. For the 2026 fiscal year, CCFE plans to issue semi-annual distributions totaling $100,000 annually, representing approximately 0.36% of Endowment assets as of December 31, 2025.All distributions are made as unrestricted charitable support to Cambodian Childrens Fund.Rationale for Predominant ReinvestmentCCFE reinvests a substantial portion of annual…
