How the Do Good School is growing their giving.
The Challenge:
A nonprofit the "Do Good School" has $1M in reserve funds sitting in their savings account. The good news is that they converted that savings account into a money market so every year they get an average return of .07%. This gives them an additional $700 per year! The bad news is that the inflation rate was 1.2% in 2020 and expected to be 2.4% in 2021.
This means the Do Good School's money is actively losing value.
The Solution:
If the Do Good School had instead chosen to passively invest (financial practices that donors, businesses, and foundations follow) with Infinite Giving in our diversified Balanced Grower portfolio, that $1M in reserve funds could have returned an annual average of 8.29% per year.
They could have kept up with inflation and potentially earned an average return of $82,900 each year.
Should the Do Good School decide to keep investing, compound interest could grow their account to $1.49M over a 5 year period, all without raising additional donor support.
We call it Growing their Giving.
