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.  

FFC can assist your organization through our financial services, contact the FFC staff for more information.
