FUND TYPES
Starting a fund offers mutual benefit for you, and your community. When you GIVE, or donate to your fund, you immediately receive a tax deduction. While in your fund, your assets have the opportunity to GROW as they are strategically invested, potentially amplifying their impact. Finally, at your discretion, you GRANT your donations to the causes you care about leaving a lasting legacy that drives positive change in your community forever.
