The WMF's endowment is held separately by the [[Tides Foundation]] and is controlled by their Board of Trustees.  However, the agreement establishing the endowment between WMF and Tides provides for a separate "Wikimedia Endowment Advisory Board" to represent the Wikimedia communities interests when Tides makes decisions about the endowment. Instead of just having the WMF Board have a say in what will become the WMF's largest financial resource, a separate Board has been appointed with Jimmy Wales and Annette Campbell-White as its initial members.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/05/11/annette-campbell-white-endowment/|title=Annette Campbell-White named to the Wikimedia Endowment Advisory Board|date=May 11, 2016|accessdate=January 17, 2017}}</ref>  In September, Peter Baldwin was added to the Advisory Board.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://blog.wikimedia.org/2016/09/09/peter-baldwin-endowment-board/|title=Peter Baldwin, professor and philanthropist, is appointed to the Wikimedia Endowment Advisory Board|quote=Endowment Board members are selected based on active involvement in philanthropic endeavors, prior nonprofit board experience, fundraising expertise, and a strong commitment to the Wikimedia Foundation’s mission.|accessdate=January 17, 2017}}</ref>
