What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A modern way to give
A Schwab Charitable™ donor-advised fund account is a simple, tax-smart investment solution for charitable giving.
You just set up an account with Schwab Charitable and contribute cash, securities, or appreciated assets. You’ll be eligible for a current-year tax deduction and can be more strategic about your giving decisions.
