Givinga Foundation Inc

What it reported doing in 2024

The givinga foundation fulfills our mission to make philanthropy accessible to everyone in five principal ways: 1. We are an independent 501(3) public charity we receive a substantial percentage of our donations from the public and that support comes from a broad and diverse number of individuals, families and companies. We are not an "affiliated non-profit entity" of a larger financial institution. We don't support a specific community, geography or religious organization. Instead, the givinga foundation is a sponsoring organization built and designed to support the charitable giving activities of all its individual account holders equally. 2. We believe donor advised funds should be accessible to all and we have built a platform that removes high minimums required to open an account, high minimum grant requirements and asset under management fees that promote accumulation versus giving activities to give small and mid-sized philanthropists a platform to organize their giving strategies. We believe that the daf is one of the most efficient and effective giving vehicles in the market today and have created a platform that is accessible to donors of any size. What this means is that anyone can create an account with the givinga foundation and have access to all of the tools necessary to maximize their impact 3. We facilitate amplified giving. Technology has improved many aspects of our daily lives and we believe that it can do the same for giving. Our partnership with givinga, inc. Allows the foundation to provide our account holders with unprecedented access to pools of giving capital as well as the ability to connect with other philanthropists that share their passion. Our campaign platform allows anyone with an account to create a cause-specific campaigns and share with their friends, familyand social networks. Account holders create and giving, inc. Provides reporting, and=ministration and tax receipting. In addition, our account holders have access to multiple pools of additional capital (we call these pools amplifiers) to increase the total impact of the grant.4. We follow an "assets in motion" philosophy the givinga foundation has created a revolutionary sponsoring organization that aligns all parties around granting versus accumulating assets. Donor advised funds provide unprecedented flexibility to account holders and are not subject to excise taxes, payout rules or disclosure requirements. The gf platform has been developed to maximize account holder impact and is structured and priced around active grant making. In partnership with our administrative provider givinga, inc. We have created the first zero fee structure in the united states. We charge no start-up fee, no fees based on assets under management and no fees on account holder assets granted directly to charity. In addition, we adhere to a "breakeven" model of administration, directing all annual excess revenues back in direct support of our account holders.
