How it works

A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account.

Contribute to the fund and receive an immediate tax deduction.

We invest your assets or we can partner with your existing financial advisor.

Recommend grants to qualified charities whenever you choose.

Continue to contribute to your fund at any time.

Consider a donor-advised fund if you want:

flexibility, simplicity, and ease
an immediate tax deduction
management of your philanthropy from one convenient account
to support multiple organizations and issue areas
to streamline and enhance your family charitable giving
access to our network and knowledge of community
