A national donor-advised fund founded in 2003 that assists charitable organizations and donors in receiving, managing, liquidating and granting proceeds from non-cash donations, charitable remainder trusts, and charitable gift annuities.
Dechomai Asset Trust’s recent activity is dominated by very large unrestricted transfers, including a $474,774,466 grant to Dechomai Foundation Inc in 2023 and a $448,854,853 grant to the same recipient in 2025. That pattern fits its role as a pure donor-advised fund provider handling complex, non-cash philanthropy and related charitable vehicles. The trust accepts and liquidates non-cash assets, then grants the net proceeds to recommended charities subject to board approval and internal policies. The grant record also shows sizable support for other charitable intermediaries and operating organizations. In 2025, Dechomai Asset Trust gave $45,942,000 to American Endowment Foundation, and it made a $49,737,655 grant to Deitch Family Charitable Support Trust in the same year. Earlier grants include $21,931,164 to Olivann Foundation and $7,661,000 to University of Texas Law School Foundation. Across those transfers, the grants are unrestricted, which points to flexible support rather than project-specific funding.
A major thread in the grant record is support for other philanthropic vehicles and fiscal structures. Dechomai Asset Trust gave $49,737,655 to Deitch Family Charitable Support Trust in 2025 and $45,942,000 to American Endowment Foundation that same year, both as unrestricted grants. Its data also shows backing for organizations connected to asset stewardship and institutional support. The trust granted $21,931,164 to Olivann Foundation in 2024 and later another $75,000 to the same recipient in 2025. In California, it awarded $200,000 to Abundance Foundation in 2024 and $60,000 in 2025. Education appears as another recurring area through institutional giving: the trust made a $7,661,000 unrestricted grant to University of Texas Law School Foundation in 2025 and a $31,501 grant to Columbia University School of Business in 2023.
Dechomai Asset Trust’s grant sizes are highly skewed toward very large awards: the 25th percentile is $200,000, the median is $21,931,164, and the 75th percentile is $315,341,522. That distribution reflects a small number of exceptionally large transfers alongside some much smaller grants. The record also shows repeat recipients across years. Dechomai Foundation Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Olivann Foundation and Abundance Foundation each received multiple grants in separate years. The trust is a pure DAF provider and a supporting-organization administrator, and its programs accept unsolicited requests. Its grant terms in the recent list are unrestricted.

Dechomai Asset Trust’s grants are entirely to U.S. recipients in the recent sample, with 15 grants and 100% landing in the United States. Florida is the most frequent recipient state, accounting for 33% of grants, driven by multiple Jacksonville and Miami Beach recipients. California is also prominent, with Berkeley appearing several times. Other recipient cities include Hudson, Austin, New Cumberland, and New York, showing a multi-state but U.S.-only distribution.
The grant-size distribution is very wide. The 25th percentile is $200,000, the median is $21,931,164, and the 75th percentile is $315,341,522. That means many awards are large, with a few extremely large transfers pulling the median upward.
Yes. Dechomai Foundation Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Olivann Foundation received grants in 2024 and 2025, and Abundance Foundation also appears in both years. The pattern suggests repeat relationships rather than one-time-only giving.
