Question

On July 1, 2016, the City of Belvedere accepted a gift of cash in the amount of $3,200,000 from a number of individuals and foundations and signed an agreement to establish a private-purpose trust. The $3,200,000 and any additional gifts are to be invested and retained as principal. Income from the trust is to be distributed to community nonprofit groups as directed by a Board consisting of city officials and other community leaders. The agreement provides that any increases in the market value of the principal investments are to be held in trust; if the investments fall below the gift amounts, then earnings are to be withheld until the principal amount is re-established.
