Financial Guidance for Minnesota Nonprofits

Your organization exists to make a difference. Our job is to help you steward your financial resources with the same care and intention you bring to your mission. Whether you're managing operating reserves, an endowment, or a long-term investment portfolio, we help nonprofit leaders and boards managing $5-25M in assets make thoughtful financial decisions with confidence.

WHY NON PROFIT INVESTING IS DIFFERENT

Stewarding more than a portfolio.

Managing a nonprofit's finances means balancing today's needs with tomorrow's mission. From operating reserves and endowments to investment policies and board oversight, every financial decision carries a responsibility to your donors, your community, and your organization's future.

We help nonprofit leaders make those decisions with clarity and confidence.

Minnesota Nonprofits Need Support

How We Help

Investment Management

Prudent, diversified portfolios designed around your organization's goals, liquidity needs, and spending policy—not a one-size-fits-all model. Our focus is helping your assets support your mission, not the other way around.

Cash & Reserve Planning

We help determine how much should remain readily available, what may be appropriate for CDs or high-yield savings, and when longer-term investing may support your mission.

Board Education & Support

We simplify complex financial topics so executive directors, finance committees, and boards can make informed decisions with confidence. We're happy to attend board meetings when investment guidance is needed.

Investment Policy & Portfolio Reviews

Whether you're evaluating an existing advisor or reviewing your Investment Policy Statement, we provide an objective assessment and recommendations aligned with your organization's goals.

Advisor Second Opinions

Already working with an advisor? We provide an independent evaluation of your investment portfolio, fees, performance, and overall strategy—helping your board understand what's working, where improvements may be possible, and whether your current approach continues to serve your mission.

Common Questions We Help Nonprofit Leaders Answer
  • How much should we keep in operating reserves?
  • Should our reserve fund be invested?
  • Is our Investment Policy Statement still serving us well?
  • Are we taking the right amount of investment risk?
  • Is our current advisor providing enough value?
  • How can our investments better support our mission?
WHY WHITNEY WEALTH GROUP

We're also committed to giving back—donating 5% of our profits each year to charitable organizations because we believe in investing in stronger communities.
