What if I have a Private Family Foundation?

Donor Advised Funds may offer donors a better solution than private foundations. Donor Advised Funds have fewer costs and regulations, while still providing donors sufficient direction to be effective tools for family wealth planning.

What if I am not ready?

If the timing isn’t right to open your own fund, you can co-invest any amount in one of our Community Funds to join forces and maximize your impact in an area of your choice.
