- Grant to any IRS-qualified charity at times of your choosing.
- Name successor advisors if you wish.
- Open a fund with no set minimum amount.
Designated Fund
Name your favorite charities to receive automatic annual grants.
Open a Designated Fund if you want to:
- Grant a percent of your fund’s value to distribute annually among designated charities.
- Designate the charities and causes you want to support at fund set-up.
- Plan to make a contribution at a later time (bequest, life insurance, beneficiary proceeds).
