How to Help

  • Donor-Advised Funds

    Donate to the causes you care about, grow your donation tax-free, and recommend grants to your favorite charities at any time.

  • Scholarship Funds

    The creation of a scholarship fund is attractive to many donors and can be structured to benefit students at any education level or for a specific institution.

  • Agency Funds

    Many nonprofit organizations establish an Endowment or Agency fund with us in order to grow assets to meet both current and future needs.

  • Giving Circles

    Giving Circles can be created by friends, family members, neighbors, business colleagues, etc.  Members of a giving circle donate a specific amount (e.g. $100, $300, $1,000 or more) to a charitable fund. 

  • IRA RMD Charitable Fund

    Those 72 or older can donate up to $100,000 to charitable organizations directly from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), without treating the distribution as taxable income.

  • Outright Gifts

    Although a cash gift is the simplest way to establish a fund, securities, life insurance, and real estate can all be used to establish a fund.

  • Memorial Gifts

    Some people create special funds for tributes and memorials.

  • Estate Gifts

    Many people choose to leave charitable assets upon their deaths.  After assuring that their loved ones have been cared for, he or she can use a variety of assets, such as pension plans, life insurance or the proceeds from the sale of a house, for charitable purposes
