1. A fund will be established on the books of JCF which shall be known as the
Fund (the “Fund”) of the Jewish Community Foundation.

2. The Fund will include the property this day received from said Donor(s), any property as may from time to time be transferred to JCF by the Donor(s) for inclusion in the Fund, or any property received from time to time by JCF from any other source and accepted by it for inclusion in the Fund and all income from the foregoing property.

3. The Fund will be the property of JCF held by it in its normal corporate capacity. It shall not be deemed a trust fund held in a trustee capacity. JCF will have the ultimate authority and control over all property in the Fund and all income derived therefrom, for the charitable, educational and religious purposes of JCF.

4. The Fund will be used only for charitable, educational, or religious purposes (or any combination of such purposes) within JCF’s mission.

5. Those individuals named in Section B of this agreement maintain the right to recommend distributions from the Fund and select from investment options for the Fund.

6. Distributions from the Fund of the income or principal or both, within the limitations provided for in paragraph 4 above, will be made at such times, in such amounts, in such ways, and for such charitable, educational or religious purposes (or any combination of such purposes) as JCF determines. The recommendations with respect to distributions will be solely advisory, and JCF will not be bound by such recommendations. Neither the Fund Advisor(s) nor the Donor(s) nor any related party may receive any benefit or privilege in return for a distribution from the Fund. No distribution from the Fund may be used to discharge or satisfy a legally enforceable pledge or obligation of any person, including the Fund Advisor(s) and the Donor(s).

The Fund Advisor(s) may, however, make recommendations regarding the investment of such assets, as indicated in Section I of this application.
