Calvert Giving Fund

Magnifying Glass Search

I searched a long time for a donor advised fund which could double my impact—with Calvert Giving Fund, even when I’m not donating to charities, my funds are actively working in communities, supporting affordable homes and funding microloans for low income people.”
—Sam, Giving Fund Advisor, Massachusetts

Sophisticated donors understand the relationship between investment choices and donor dollars.  Investments based solely on return can negate the positive effects of a donation.

Calvert Giving Fund, the only 100% Socially Responsible Donor Advised Fund, provides a simple solution. The Giving Fund offers a range of investment choices that help maximize the impact of your donated funds, even before they are granted out to charities.Your philanthropic giving power increases over time as your Giving Fund assets appreciate tax-free in an investment platform of socially-responsible mutual funds and community investments.

A donor advised fund is the equivalent of starting your own “personal foundation” with as little as $5,000, and none of the complications or expenses associated with a private foundation. When you open a Calvert Giving Fund, you receive an immediate tax-deduction and your funds start generating positive social returns through the investments you select.

Our donor advised fund allows you to streamline your charitable giving, and provides you with in-depth analysis on strategic giving opportunities.
