Mission and programs · 2023

• The Fenwick Community Fund (Fund or FCF) is a public benefit community foundation created on September 1, 2021 for the broad-based public benefit of residents in the Bay Area. The Fund is a membership-based entity. The members appoint the Funds board members. As of and during the period ended December 31, 2023, the only member is Fenwick & West, LLP. Substantially all the donations received into the Fund were from partners or employees of Fenwick & West, LLP.The Fund provides grants to other nonprofit organizations.The Fund operates a donor advised fund (DAF) program. The policies of the DAF program permit future grants for charitable purposes while maximizing the donors current tax benefits. The donor contributes money or securities to the Fund and may then recommend grants from the fund. Each partner of Fenwick & West LLP can establish a DAF fund at the Fund. The Fund accepts contributions of cash and securities. The Fund has the authority to liquidate any contribution in the manner and at a time selected in its own discretion. Unless otherwise agreed between FCF and the donor, FCF is not subject to any restriction or condition with respect to liquidating any contribution, including without limitation that the contribution be retained for any length of time prior to liquidation, that the contribution be liquidated or not liquidated immediately, or that the contribution be liquidated in any particular manner or sequence. All contributions to the DAF program are irrevocable gifts and must be made without any donor restrictions to the Fund. FCF has ultimate discretion and control over all property in the Fund. All contributions to the Fund are subject to the Funds variance power, which means that at all times the Fund retains full discretion and control and that the Fund is not bound by the grant recommendations of any advisor or donor as defined.

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
