Fund the account
After opening the Giving Account, contribute the $5,000 minimum donation online to become eligible for an immediate tax deduction. Use a variety of sources to fund the Giving Account including cash, check, wire transfer, or electronic funds transfer from a bank or brokerage account. Other assets can be used to fund the Giving Account such as non-publicly traded stock, life insurance policies, bitcoin and more, by calling 1-800-262-6039.
Invest to grow
The Giving Account has the potential for your contribution to grow tax-free, resulting in additional support for your favorite charities. After funding the Giving Account, recommend investments by choosing from a variety of investment pools based on your philanthropic goals and risk tolerance. Monitor the investments over time and modify the allocations accordingly.
