The purpose of the HLF 100 Fund is to generate the financial support from 100 major donors each contributing $100,000 to create a $10 million endowed fund. The endowment was created in support of approved SCI Foundation projects in the areas of World-Wide Conservation, Outdoor Education and Humanitarian Projects.
HLF funds are invested in perpetuity as part of SCI Foundation’s Investment Portfolio, subject to the Investment and Spending Policies of SCI Foundation, with reports made on a regular basis to the members of the HLF 100 about the portfolio’s performance. The HLF is an endowed fund, meaning the principle remains permanently endowed with only a percentage of income being available each year to support approved SCI Foundation projects, such as the Wild Harvest Initiative®.
