For Donors For Advisors

Experience the AEF Difference

AEF expands philanthropy by partnering with firms and financial advisors in the financial services industry. This enables more donors to create a significant charitable impact. 

Here’s what you can expect with AEF.

AEF partners with firms and financial advisors in an unbiased manner to expand philanthropic giving through donor-advised funds. We work with advisors and their clients to establish and administer AEF donor-advised fund accounts to increase the amount granted to our donors’ causes and charities. 

This approach affords us the ability to be laser-focused on what we do best: deliver a best-in-class experience.
