Donors

Since 1998, we’ve helped community- minded people reach their philanthropic goals.  Whether you are searching for the causes you wish to champion, or you know precisely where and how you wish to give, we can help.

 

A donor advised fund makes giving efficient, effective, flexible and easy.  It is the equivalent of having your own personal foundation but much less expensive and, therefore, useful for anyone who gives more than once a year to more than one charity or faith based organization.
