How it works
• Create a fund with as little as $10,000.
• You can take an immediate tax deduction, and take your time making grants. There is no annual minimum of grant recommendations and you can add to your fund at any time.
• With corporate funds you name the fund and designate the individuals who are authorized to recommend grants –the CEO and board, the PR or HR department, or an employee committee.
• You can designate grants to any qualifying charity.
• You choose whether or not to give anonymously – on a grant-by-grant basis.
• We invest the funds and handle all of the fund administration – from cutting the checks to providing real-time access to your fund balance and giving and grant-making activity.
• We perform due diligence on all recommended charities, ensuring proper public registration, so you don’t have to.
