Our specialist team creates custom solutions for not-for-profit organisations. We’re focused on’ better investment outcomes and helping protect reputations.
Our experience with not-for-profit organizations
At Mercer, we know the challenges that endowments and foundations face. We work with more than 250 not-for-profit clients and have helped build their portfolios and spending policies and have guided their committees through some of the most challenging times. There are few situations related to nonprofits that we haven’t faced.
Helping fulfill big goals
A high-touch experience
Unlike smaller organizations, Mercer has the resources to provide our clients personalized service. For instance, we have a low client-to-consultant ratio, and our consultants are supported by a full staff of analysts, researchers, and operations staff. This allows us to bring to bear a higher level of expertise and service for our clients.
Minimizing risks and costs
We help organizations strike the right balance between risk and potential returns, with an unflinching eye for reducing costs. There are no hidden charges; we do what we do for a simple, straightforward fee.
Build a long-term relationship
At Mercer, we are geared for the long term. Established in 1937, we’ve faithfully served clients for more than 80 years.
