About Donor Advised Charitable Giving
Donor Advised Charitable Giving Inc moves money at very large scale through donor-advised funds, with recent grants that include $517,434,329 to Johns Hopkins University and $249,117,686 to National Philanthropic Trust. As a pure DAF provider, it operates as a grantmaking platform for donor recommendations rather than a traditional operating foundation, and its disclosed grant list shows support flowing to education, public benefit, human services, arts, and religion-related organizations. The pattern is not limited to a single institution. Johns Hopkins appears again with $481,844,923 in 2024, while Stanford-affiliated recipients, UCSF, and California Institute of Technology also receive major support. Outside education, the record includes $165,000,000 to Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, $160,000,000 to 85 Fund, and $144,682,101 to Renaissance Charitable Foundation. Together, these grants show a funder that channels very large donor-recommended gifts to universities, intermediary charities, and mission-specific organizations across several sectors.
What Donor Advised Charitable Giving Funds
In education, the foundation’s largest grants go to research universities and university affiliates. Johns Hopkins University received $517,434,329 in 2025, and Stanford University Board of Trustees received $90,410,606 in 2025 and $76,710,705 in 2024. Public benefit grantmaking includes large transfers to intermediary philanthropy vehicles. National Philanthropic Trust received $249,117,686 in 2025, and Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund received $127,700,997 in 2025. Human services is another visible area. 85 Fund received $160,000,000 in 2025, following $141,500,000 in 2023 and $141,250,000 in 2024. Global Support and Development also appears with $64,899,000 in 2023, $43,900,000 in 2024, and $41,750,000 in 2025. The arts and culture side includes $165,000,000 to Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in 2025.
How Donor Advised Charitable Giving Gives
Typical recent grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $17,300 at the median, and $42,600 at the 75th percentile, while the recent-grants list also includes very large outliers in the hundreds of millions. The recipient list shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Johns Hopkins University, 85 Fund, Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, Global Support and Development, Stanford University Board of Trustees, UCSF Foundation, and California Institute of Technology. That pattern fits a pure donor-advised fund sponsor: donors open accounts, recommend grants, and the sponsor reviews and approves them. Unsolicited applications are not part of the model shown here.
