Contribution Considerations

Assistance with complex assets and issues

During our 30+ years’ experience in donor-advised funds, we’ve helped clients handle a variety of complex and unusual situations. We use our expertise and creativity to find solutions.

If you are contemplating a contribution of complex assets, we recommend contacting us early in the process.

Contributions are irrevocable

Once we approve and accept your contribution, your gift is irrevocable and iGiftFund retains exclusive legal control over the contributed asset. Per the IRS, you may not impose any material restriction or condition on the gift.
