Fund Your Charitable Gift Account

You can open an account with an initial contribution of as little as $5,000 in cash or securities, and make subsequent contributions of $500 or more.

Donating Assets

Your irrevocable contributions can be in the form of cash and publicly traded securities, including stocks, most mutual-fund shares, and bonds. Schwab Charitable Fund is also able to facilitate the donation of “non-cash” assets such as real estate, private-equity investments, and tangible personal property.

Giving More by Giving Wisely

Tax law offers incentives for charitable giving, particularly for gifts of appreciated property. This means that you can often give more than you would expect through your Charitable Gift Account. By accounting for this tax-preferred treatment, our Cost of Contribution Calculator determines the “net cost” of your contribution.
