The benefits of a long-term, low-cost, diversified investment philosophy has been proven over many years. 
 
We offer the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund to give you a globally diversified portfolio of equities, fixed income instruments, REITs, commodities, and other securities to expand its investments and facilitate your long-term philanthropic planning.

Is TIFF Multi-Asset Fund right for you?

While the TIFF Multi-Asset Fund is an intriguing mix of globally diversified equities, fixed income instruments, REITs, commodities and other securities, it's not for everyone. If you maintain a high account balance and wish to pursue long-term giving strategies, similar to an endowment, this could be a solid choice for your philanthropic goals.

Contribution directly from IRA? (Optional)
Although a donor-advised fund is ineligible to receive contributions from IRA's tax-free, you may wish to consider a contribution to the Sustainable Disaster-Relief Fund (SDRF).  The SDRF is a field-of-interest fund, which is often able to accept direct distributions tax-free from an IRA.  Individuals should consult a tax advisor before contributing.
