Finances

Sierra Health Foundation’s endowment has a diversified portfolio, including real estate and the stock market. Earnings from our investment portfolio are the primary source of funds. We do not conduct fund-raising events or solicit funds from any source.

Based on IRS regulations, we allocate a minimum of 5 percent of our net invested assets as direct grants, in-kind support and operating expenses. In 2009, this was approximately $8.8 million.
