I like Cascadia Fund, but it is registered in use by the Sec of State.

Maybe the use of the word "Five" is not necessary in the name, but can be picked up in the symbol or logo.

Elann Partners, 

I'm going in all different directions here hoping to get a sense of what works for your brand. If you're able to lend some feedback, it would be very helpful. Thank you so much:)

Thank you, RainyDayWriter.  I have scored and deleted some entries.  It is hard for me to critique, other than to know what feels right.  It seems I gravitate to shorter names.  I am not liking names with the word/numeral five in them.  Perhaps the 5 for the members gets picked up in the logo process.  I like Cascade, Cascadia, Evergreen, Cedar . . . maybe even Star.

To all:  After discussion with other family, it looks like cascade or any derivative will not make the final cut.
