Diane Tuntland
Mrs. Tuntland is the Co-Founder and Chief Financial Officer for Endowment Partners, LLC.

She works closely with her clients to build multi-dimensionally diversified portfolios with mitigated risk and works closely with clients' donors to bring expert strategy to major gift structure. When she is not crunching statistical analysis, evaluating option strategies, and watching every single tick of the market, you can find her on the golf course trying to beat her personal best, five-under-par (67), or captaining her family’s boat in Newport Beach, California.
Diane is a graduate of Indiana University where she studied at the Kelley School of Business, as well as the Jacobs School of Music as a Dean’s Scholar. A former professional ballerina, Diane has performed with the Pennsylvania Ballet, Ballet West, Indiana University Ballet Theater, Ballet Pacifica, and Donn Arden’s Jubilee. She trained with the School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theater, The Rock School, Boston Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, State Street Ballet, and Ballet Pacifica, as well as being a recipient of the Los Angeles Music Center’s Spotlight Award.
Diane's love for philanthropy began in elementary school when she joined the National Charity League mother-daughter service organization in her hometown, Newport Beach, California. This work continued through college as a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta beta chapter, and after college with the Junior League of Boca Raton, Florida.
Endowment Partners, LLC is the third business Diane has successfully founded, owned, and operated in the past ten years. Diane holds her Series 65 and is currently working to obtain her Certificate in Nonprofit Management from UNLV. Her passion for the arts, philanthropy, and finance combined with the discipline and dedication she learned as a professional ballerina has given her the ability to thrive in investment management for nonprofits, foundations, and endowments.
Diane lives in Las Vegas with her husband Dan, and their Bernedoodle, Fraser.
