Working Together

Fidelity Charitable is an independent public charity

Like your organization, we are also a nonprofit. Our donor-advised fund program, called the Giving Account, helps us achieve our charitable mission:

To further the American tradition of philanthropy by providing programs that make charitable giving simple and effective.

We facilitate philanthropy by making it easy for donors to support other charities — charities that support the arts, education, the environment, health services, scientific research, community programs, and more — organizations just like yours.
