Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Charitable Gift Fund online. As the #1 grant maker in America, it stands to reason that our mission states our commitment to "educating donors on the benefits of charitable giving." This site is the first step of many, as we evolve into a resource for people interested in finding out more about philanthropy. This site will grow in the coming months and years based on your commentary and our own commitment to uncover additional useful information. We hope that you will continue to visit this site and utilize its tools to further your knowledge of the charitable landscape.

You will find information in our Philanthropic Resources section developed to broaden your knowledge of philanthropy. Read our quarterly newsletter online or look for suggested readings and links to additional sites for more information.

Visit the Donor Services section if you are already a Charitable Gift Fund donor and have specific questions on policies and procedures. Also utilize this section if you need to order additional forms for contributions or grants. If you are not a donor, but considering becoming one, feel free to browse this section for answers to our most frequently asked questions.

In the Charitable Gift Fund section, you will gain a better understanding of our donor-advised fund and the unique benefits it offers. With the coordination of your charitable giving goals and your tax and estate planning needs, you can do more for the causes you care about most.
