Independent Donor Advised Fund

Established in 1993, American Endowment Foundation is a leading
"independent", national, Donor Advised Fund program.

AEF ranks among Charity Navigator's top ten for Fiscal Excellence 2007

At AEF, independent integrity is one of our core values. Many charitable gift funds (donor advised fund programs) are offered by nonprofits with an affiliation to a for-profit service provider, for example Fidelity, Vanguard, Charles Schwab, National Philanthropic Trust, and Renaissance. We believe that true independence improves the reliability and enhances the flexibility of the Donor Advised Fund program, thereby contributing to its usefulness and objectivity.

  • AEF is not affiliated with financial institutions.
  • AEF accrues no benefit from brokerage services, commissions, finder fees, or product sales.
  • AEF does not sell financial products or services.
  • AEF does not provide financial, tax, or legal advice.

Our sole focus is Donor Advised Fund Administration. See About AEF
