Donor-advised funds

One of Ren’s most popular services is the set up and management of donor-advised funds, which allow for the transfer of assets to a public charity for the purpose of charitable giving.

The nation’s fastest-growing giving strategy, donor-advised funds are ideal for charitably minded individuals who face capital gains taxes on appreciated assets or estate taxes and who want to involve family in philanthropy. Donor-advised funds contributions are made to the sponsoring charity who maintains the fund. Donors receive immediate charitable deductions and retain the opportunity to recommend the charities that receive grants.

Benefits of a donor-advised fund:

Donor-advised funds help charitably minded individuals reduce taxes on their estates or on capital gains on appreciated assets.

Our per client solutions give financial professionals access to a wide range of charitable gift knowledge through our Ren Tools portal. Ren equips financial professionals to deliver advice to charitably minded clients, and supports financial institutions with trust administration, reporting, accounting, compliance, and client case consulting. 

Donor-advised funds make it easy for donors to establish a legacy of giving. Heirs and loved ones can be part of the process of distributing grants to charity, and can even be named successor grant advisors, allowing the donor-advised fund and its charitable impact to last for generations.
