Founded in 1900, the Foundation for Child Development works at the intersection of research, policy, and community to support young children in reaching their full potential.
At the Foundation for Child Development, we look beyond the limits of perpetuity and spend down, and instead we ask ourselves: how can our resources respond to the need and opportunity of the moment? Our endowment is a tool, and our payout, investments, governance, and fiduciary duty work together to serve our mission.
FCD’s decision to temporarily increase spending grew out of more than a year of board conversations about what it meant to “meet this moment,” which reframed risk around the young children the foundation serves rather than its endowment, and led to a mission-driven spending framework in place of fixed payout formulas.
We’re proud to be featured among the “growing swell” of funders rethinking fiduciary duty, and expanding the possibilities of stewardship:
