Unlike existing DAF solutions, Foundation Source’s donor experience is intuitive and modern, there are no complex back-office money movements, and there are no minimums for custom investments or charging your advisory fees.
The program is lightweight and can launch in a few business days. Unlock deeper conversations with clients, more assets per client, and stronger stories to attract prospects.
Foundation Source has partnered with Charityvest to offer a modern, tech-forward giving experience.
