We provide specialized support for donor advised funds and supporting foundations. From identifying funding opportunities for the causes you care about to facilitating the grant-making process for you, we will guide you through every step. We’ll even meet with you personally to talk about your family’s philanthropy and give you tips and advice on how to get the next generation – your children and grandchildren – involved in charitable giving.

We manage close to 400 donor advised funds and foundations, distributing more than $35 million annually to more than 1,400 Jewish and secular organizations in Baltimore and beyond.

When you establish an endowment, donor advised fund or supporting foundation with us, it will be invested in The Associated’s high-performing Jewish Community Investment Fund (JCIF). The JCIF aims to obtain superior investment results through diversification and to provide better access to investment managers. Your money is in amazing company.
