SERVICES - Family Governance

Donor Advised Fund

We seamlessly integrate your philanthropic goals into your overall financial strategy through the effective use of Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). We work closely with major DAF providers, including Fidelity Charitable, the Jewish Communal Fund, DAFgiving360 (formerly known as Schwab Charitable) and others. We offer tailored investment guidance, and for larger DAFs, we can manage the money just like we do for your other accounts. Furthermore, we guide you through making grants, setting up beneficiaries, and building a lasting charitable impact for your family.
