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.

Account fees and minimums.

Administrative fees, investment fees, and account minimums vary depending on the account and how it's invested. First, choose which type of account best supports your philanthropic goals and needs:

  • There is no minimum contribution requirement to open a Schwab Charitable core account.
  • Once you make an irrevocable contribution, you can give to charities immediately or you may invest your charitable assets for potential tax-free growth.
  • A professionally managed account allows investors with $250,000 or more to select an investment advisor to manage the investments.
