Private Giving Foundation

The Private Giving Foundation is an independent public charity that provides a simple and effective way to support the causes that matter to you. It facilitates giving without the administrative complexities of establishing a foundation.

  • A legacy of giving

  • Family Involvement
    Unite the family around shared values to make even more of an impact.

How the Private Giving Foundation works

We make private giving easy to get started. Here's how:
 

Open a donor-advised account

Start with an irrevocable contribution of $10,000 or more to us. You can make optional donations of $1,000 or more at any time to keep giving to your cause(s). We accept cash, securities or both.
 

Choose your charity

Pick the charity that matters most to you.

Make a grant

You decide the amount to give, and we'll provide the grant on your behalf from your donor-advised account.
 

Get your statements and tax receipts

We'll take care of the administrative details. You'll get statements showing your contributions and grants to track your giving and tax receipts to claim your charitable donations.
