Types of nonprofits

Every grant we send requires a different review and approval process. The review is based on the type of organization receiving the grant. Below is a sampling of the nonprofits that receive grants from us.

What is a donor-advised fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account designed exclusively to invest, grow, and give assets to charities for meaningful and lasting impact. Here's how it works: You donate assets into a DAF and recommend how those assets should be invested. Your contribution is tax deductible, and the assets in the DAF grow tax-free. When you're ready, recommend a grant for a charity you care about, and we take care of the rest. Some people call it a giving vehicle, others call it a philanthropic fund, we call it the most convenient, tax-efficient way to give back.
