Whether you’re starting on a modest scale or you oversee more substantial personal or institutional assets, we’re here to help you:

• Define your philanthropic goals
• Assess your full range of giving options
• Optimize your savings on capital gains, estate and income taxes
• Customize your giving and maximize results
• Build a charitable family legacy
• Create income for your retirement or for loved ones after you’re gone
• Stay informed about charitable giving opportunities
• Manage the day-to-day administration of your funds

We are the largest manager of charitable assets and the leader in planned giving solutions for Greater Los Angeles Jewish philanthropists.

In 2023, The Foundation and our community of 1,400 fund holders distributed $183 million to more than 2,500 nonprofits spanning the range of philanthropic giving. Over the past decade, we have distributed nearly $1 billion to thousands of nonprofits across a diverse spectrum.

With a contribution of cryptocurrency to your Donor Advised Fund at The Foundation, you ensure that your tax deduction will equal the fair market value of the asset. And, instead of paying capital gains, the full value of your cryptocurrency will be available for charitable purposes.
