Charitable Giving Services

Schwab Charitable™ was established to increase charitable giving in the United States. To help donors achieve their philanthropic goals, Schwab Charitable offers advantageous ways to give useful information and unbiased guidance.

 

Through Schwab Charitable Fund™, a leading national donor-advised fund, we provide a personalized, private, and tax-smart way to structure one’s charitable giving.

 

Through Charitable Trust Services, we help donors establish a charitable remainder trust that can generate needed income for the donor while reducing capital gains, estate and income taxes and leaving a flexible charitable legacy for future generations.
