Dear Colleagues and Friends:

Godeke Consulting has been supporting the Nathan Cummings Foundation (NCF) in its search for an OCIO to guide NCF’s $450 million endowment toward 100% mission alignment. We're pleased to announce the launch of the Preliminary RFP for that OCIO search.

The Preliminary RFP, which is open to all advisers who believe they would be a strong partner to NCF, will be followed by a Final RFP. Because criteria such as assets under management or years in business can create unintended barriers or biases in a traditional search process, we welcome joint proposals and other creative solutions from the field during this open invitation period.

If you or anyone in your network would like to be considered, please submit your responses by October 30.

Here's NCF's press release.
Here's the RFP form.
Here's the PDF version of the RFP questions.

Please reach out to me with any questions or comments.

All the best,
Steve
