Thanks all for answering! Well there is a relatively low-risk
option to make some 5%-7% annually by investing in marketplace
lending, see https://lendingclub.com/. (Individuals may do the
same, too, btw - look into it!) I've been using them since 2013
with moderate amounts. Right now the portfolio's return rate is
5.06% - not to sneeze at. The issue is liquidity, i.e. your
principal and interest are returned on a monthly basis over 3-5
years. The monthly schedule is actually nice for the Foundation
because it matches the way operations are paid for.

Was reading [1] on p2p lending and reminded me of our earlier
discussion.
