Cambridge Associates Will Steward Nearly $500 Million in Community Assets
East Bay Community Foundation (EBCF) is happy to announce the selection of Cambridge Associates as our new investment advisor, responsible for overseeing management of nearly $500 million in charitable assets under management.
“At EBCF, we believe everyone should have the economic freedom to dream, heal, and belong—and that belief guides how we invest every dollar under our care,” said Brandi Howard, President and CEO of EBCF. “Following a rigorous review led by our Board and Investment Committee, we selected Cambridge Associates to steward these resources with discipline, customization, and a long-term commitment to racial equity and community impact.”
Cambridge Associates brings more than 50 years of experience building institutional-quality portfolios for leading endowments and foundations. As EBCF’s investment advisor, Cambridge will design and manage a customized portfolio aligned with EBCF’s mission, values, and philanthropic goals.
“Cambridge’s investment approach and ability to build a custom, separately managed, portfolio uniquely calibrated for our goals gives EBCF greater control, flexibility, and continuity,” said Mona Williams, Chair of EBCF’s Investment Committee. “This partnership strengthens our ability to pursue long-term sustainability and prudent risk management—so donors can maximize their philanthropic impact across the East Bay.”
The transition began on January 1 and will continue over the coming months, with no disruption expected to EBCF operations or donor services.
