Investment Fee
Vanguard’s time-tested principles guide us; we apply the same thoughtful, long-term outlook, best-in-class investments, and industry-low costs to charitable giving. The investment fee pays for the management of invested assets to allow for charitable growth. When recommending investments, you can select from a range of options across major asset classes that span the risk spectrum. When invested, charitable assets may compound tax-free, increasing your philanthropic impact over time.
