Simple Administration

Tax Benefits
Donors receive immediate and maximum tax benefits, while enduring none of the administrative and financial burdens of forming a private foundation.
Growth Potential
NPT invests your fund with the same goal as any charity or foundation investing its charitable funds – to increase the fund's value tax free.
Flexible Giving
You focus on fulfilling your philanthropic goals and deciding which nonprofit organizations you want to support. Recommending a grant takes just a few minutes, and you can determine how you would like to be recognized for each grant you recommend -- including the option to remain anonymous.
Longevity
A donor advised fund allows you to build a legacy of philanthropy. Responsibility for the fund can be shared by your family and passed on to your heirs.
DONOR BENEFITS
"[Donor Advised Funds] offer tremendous convenience. They help donors research grantees, and by lowering start-up costs . . . they actually encourage [donors] to give more."
