For some companies, opening a donor-advised fund is the best option for simplifying their giving. We offer many of the same benefits as a private foundation, plus increased flexibility, tax advantages, and customized services to support your charitable vision.

We can help develop a giving program tailored to your company’s specific interest areas and giving priorities. Once we know what you value most, we can quickly identify local solutions.

Once your fund is established, we do the heavy lifting. Our grantmaking practice follows a strict due diligence process to ensure that your investments are only disbursed to reputable organizations. After we process the grant on your behalf, we follow up on your gift’s status to ensure its usage matches your intent.
