You Stay in the Driver’s Seat When Investing

Be Prepared for Any Client Need

From private business interests and real estate to alternatives and restricted stock, if it’s legally acceptable by DAFs, we’ve probably done it. Our complex assets concierge team will lead you every step of the way through even the most sophisticated giving opportunities with expert guidance and precision. Whether your client is giving $500K or $500M, we can handle it for you.

Delight Your Clients Without Increasing Your Workload

With automatic charity vetting technology, cross-client account summaries, and contribution and grant status updates in one place, getting a DAF doesn’t have to mean spending hours with a helpdesk. Our technology keeps you at the center, delivering the information you need in easy-to-understand ways.

How Our Fees Work

Administrative fees for donor-advised funds are typically tiered, meaning the rate you pay decreases as your account grows. Below is our standard admin fee schedule for all Advisor-Managed DAFs through Renaissance Charitable.

For DAFs above $5M, contact your regional giving expert for an immediate quote – our large-account pricing is designed to be highly competitive, helping ensure even the largest contributions go further for the causes you care about.

Mission-accelerating focus

Because charitable giving is our specialty, every investment in our platform goes back to improving your giving experience.

1 Complex asset transaction support is free of charge pending available capacity; complex gifts less than $500K are not guaranteed prioritization.

The result: a donor-advised fund built to maximize your generosity, with clarity and confidence at every step.
