About TIFF

Who We Serve

As an outsourced CIO (OCIO) and alternative investment strategies provider, we help guide investment strategies for educational institutions, private foundations, community foundations, cultural/historical, healthcare-related institutions, and specific public benefit organizations from across the country.

Commitment to Nonprofits

Nearly 35 years ago, TIFF was founded by nonprofits to serve nonprofits, and this founding principle still drives our mission today. We strive to be the best OCIO to the nonprofit community to allow all nonprofits an opportunity to achieve investing and operational excellence. We have continuously evolved to better partner with nonprofits, which has led to significant enhancements, including developing educational programs, charitable giving, and client fee reductions.
