*PCF Founder

History
The Piedmont Community Foundation, a nonprofit public charity, was formed in 1999 out of a commitment to improve the quality of life in our region. The idea was simple (and still is!); Connect donors to the causes they care about. Increase the financial resources for charitable causes and non-profits by putting together a common investment instrument governed by the community served. PCF donors have already made available over $725,000 of philanthropy in Loudoun and Fauquier counties.

Financial Information
The PCF makes financial information available to the public within 24 hours of receipt of request during business hours. The Foundation's 990s are found on the web at www.guidestar.org.

Financial information from inception through 2008 can be viewed in our Annual Reports, available below in PDF format.

The Investment Committee is responsible for the investment of the PCF trust or fund that is, and the aggregate of the unrestricted trusts or funds that are, a component part of the Piedmont Community Foundation. An Investment Policy guides all Foundation investment actions. A copy of the Investment Policy, and who serves on the current Investment Committee is available upon request. At this time there are no outside investment managers. The portfolio composite of mutual funds does not charge a separate management fee; each fund within the portfolio has its own internal fees and expenses listed in the fund’s prospectus, which can be disclosed upon request.
