These figures are from fiscal year 2022 — the most recent Form 990 available for this organization. Later returns may have been filed but not yet released by the IRS or parsed into the dataset behind this page. Returns can take two to three years to work through that pipeline, so a gap here does not mean the organization stopped filing, and these numbers should not be read as current.

At 24.8%, this sponsor paid out above the 12.5% median for sponsors holding more than $10 million.

A missing year means no return for that year has been released yet, not that the organization was inactive. Years marked fall in the 2020–21 pandemic giving surge, when contributions into donor-advised funds rose sharply across the sector; treat them as an unusual period rather than a baseline.

Grant disclosure

Itemized 86 grant lines totalling $4.3M across 2019–2024 — $50K per line.

$301K of this sponsor’s grants went to other DAF sponsors — 7% of its itemized grantmaking. Money moved between sponsors is reported as a grant, but it has not yet reached a working charity. This total counts only organizations whose donor-advised fund program is their primary activity, so grants to universities and hospitals that happen to run a DAF on the side are excluded.

How these figures are calculated: methodology and disclosures. Source: IRS Form 990 e-file XML for fiscal year 2022, via the National Center for Charitable Statistics. Payout rate is DAF grants divided by DAF assets at year end. Recipient totals combine tax years 2019–2024 where filings are available. IRS release and parsing lag means recent years are incomplete for many organizations — NCCS advises treating the most recent year in the panel as partial.
