Investment Committee oversees the activities of the investment managers responsible for investment of the Foundation’s funds and recommends to the Foundation Board any changes in investment guidelines or investment managers. The committee is also responsible for implementation and monitoring of the Foundation’s socially responsible investment policy.

There will also be an annual Global Mission Award to fund a noteworthy ministry with programs that are transforming, sustainable, and empowering so that local people can help themselves.
