If you would like to explore our virtual programming in the meantime, Commonfund Institute Online offers education based on the six principles of investment stewardship (the 6 Ps) — purpose, policy, process, portfolio, people and perspective. Although institutions may define their missions in very different ways, all see a healthy endowment as essential to their long-term viability. The 6 Ps can therefore be applied across the nonprofit sector: to public or private colleges and universities; independent schools; private, family and community foundations; nonprofit healthcare organizations; and other select long-term investors.
