Give more. Save more.

 A Giving Account is a donor-advised fund that helps you support your favorite charities while potentially maximizing your tax benefits.

How the Giving Account works

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. Donate when the timing is right for you and support charities over time.

Give.

Donate cash, stock, or other appreciated assets and claim an immediate tax deduction, even before you’ve chosen where to give.

Your contribution is invested based on your preferences and may grow tax-free over time, helping your charitable dollars go further.

Grant.

Donate to any eligible charity over time

Support the causes you care about when you're ready or set up recurring grant recommendations for ongoing support.
