The Grigg Lewis Foundation, Inc. is a private non-operating foundation that is required to distribute at least 5% of their assets annually for charitable purposes.
The financial market plays a large part in their decision making, as their board members have a fiduciary responsibility to honor their founder’s wishes, and to ensure that the Foundation continues in perpetuity.
The Foundation has often granted over and above this required 5% distribution, but must weigh their current investment performance to ensure they are not consistently taking from their principal.
