The Corporation's Spending Philosophy
The Corporation's spending policy supports a stable flow of funds for the foundation's programs and offers a sense of security for our grantees. The policy, which calls for spending 5.5 percent of the average market value of the endowment during the prior 12 quarters, dampens large swings in valuation. This helps sustain the Corporation's grantmaking efforts in bad times as well as good, helping us fulfill Andrew Carnegie's legacy of using private wealth for the public good in perpetuity.

Assets
The Corporation's capital fund, originally donated at a value of about $135 million, had a market value of approximately $3.0 billion on September 30, 2007. It is expected that the Corporation's grant making will total more than $100 million during fiscal year 2007-2008.
