About Gs Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management
Gs Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management Inc channels very large donor-advised giving through Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management clients, with annual grants of $3.8 billion and assets of $12.7 billion. The recent grant record shows a broad portfolio rather than a single-cause profile: education, community and human services, medical and public services, environment and animal protection, religious institutions, and arts and culture all appear among the largest awards. Education is one visible strand of that portfolio. The fund gave $196.0 million to University of Oregon Foundation in 2023 and $43.3 million in 2024, while also directing $30.4 million to University of Washington Foundation in 2023 and $21.3 million in 2024. Community and human services is another major lane, with $163.1 million to National Philanthropic Tr in 2024 and $108.0 million to Blue Meridian Partners Inc in 2023. These grants show a donor-advised structure capable of moving both very large gifts and smaller awards across multiple sectors and institutions.
What Gs Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management Funds
Education is a consistent area of support. The fund gave $28.7 million in 2023 and $25.0 million in 2024 to The Leland Stanford Junior University, and $24.5 million in 2024 to Communities in Schools Inc, linking higher education and student support. Community and human services also feature prominently. In 2024, it awarded $23.7 million to Alliance for Safety and Justice and $19.2 million in 2023 to Strivetogether Inc, both tied to community-serving work. Its portfolio also reaches public-interest and institutional causes. The fund gave $20.2 million in 2024 to American Civil Liberties Union Foundation Inc and $20.0 million in 2023 to Windward Fund, while religious institutions appear through a $26.0 million grant in 2024 to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
How Gs Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management Gives
Typical grants are mid-sized to large: the distribution is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $99,550 at the 75th percentile. That spread sits alongside occasional very large grants in the tens or hundreds of millions, which is characteristic of a donor-advised platform that can accommodate both smaller, targeted gifts and major allocations. The recipient list also shows repeat relationships across years, including multiple awards to the same institutions in 2023 and 2024. It is a pure DAF provider, and its grants are made through donor-advised accounts rather than program-related investments.
