Friends
Fiduciary sole mission is to assist Meetings and Organizations,
within the Religious Society of Friends, in the stewardship
of their financial resources. Good stewardship requires responsible
management of the funds entrusted to your organization,
while adhering to the principles which advance Friends'
testimonies. Friends Fiduciary Corporation has the knowledge,
experience and expertise to help your Friends Meeting or
organization meet those goals.
Many
functions of Friends Fiduciary are performed by
Board
of Directors
,
Officers
and Committee
Memberships
as volunteers.
Consequently, FFC passes along its savings from reduced
expenses to organizations by way of lower fund management
costs than would be available from most other funds.

organization through our financial services,
