The investment policy followed by the Foundation represents an attempt to maintain an asset mix designed to achieve the highest expected return with the least amount of risk.  The Foundation has a portfolio consisting of cash, fixed income, credit, equity, diversifying strategies, real assets and private equity to diversify the portfolio’s assets with an emphasis on capital preservation.

By this means, the Directors hope to provide substantial income available for current disbursement, with a reasonable prospect that income in future years may grow sufficiently to permit meaningful contributions in line with the increasing needs of recipient organizations.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 

The McLean Foundation will be changing its online application portal for 2024.

Please note that Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) must be submitted by December 1st, 2023,  to be considered for funding. After December 1st, 2023, the McLean Foundation will no longer accept LOIs as it moves to a new application portal. Please check back soon for information on how to apply for funding in our new system. We anticipate the new system will be ready to accept applications by mid-December 2023.

If you have already submitted a funding application/LOI in 2023, please do not apply again. The Foundation will only review one application/LOI per organization each year.
