The MARE Fund
The Board of Directors and the Finance Committee have a fiduciary obligation to oversee the investment of the school’s endowment assets and to maximize the financial return on those resources, taking into account the amount of risk appropriate for the school.
How are the funds invested and managed?
The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors will determine the investment strategy and management. The Finance Committee reviews, develops and supervises the implementation of policies relating to the school’s annual operating and capital budgeting, investments, borrowing and other financial matters.
Having a strong financial foundation in the form of an endowment is essential for the future of ASIJ. An endowment guarantees ASIJ’s vision of education will be available for future generations as it grows. We gave to the endowment to create a legacy of support for the ASIJ of tomorrow.
