What is Fund Collaboration?

Fund collaboration allows you to work with a trusted advisor or a family member to manage your fund. There is no minimum balance required in your DAF to use this feature. Once established, Collaborators have read-only access, and can make recommendations for your approval. This includes making donations, making grant recommendations, and managing portfolio positions.

​
Adding a Collaborator

​
Step 1: Add a Collaborator

Connect and navigate to the fund you want to collaborate on. Click the Add a Collaborator button. You can also reach the Collaborators menu from your Fund by clicking on the gear near the top of the screen. Here, you can view existing collaboration information and add a new collaborator. To add a new collaborator, click the Add Collaborator button and complete the form.

​
Step 2: Await Collaborator Approval

After a brief compliance review, you and the collaborator will receive a confirmation email for your records.

​
Collaboration

The collaborator can now view your fund and make suggestions. You can view their suggestions in your Dashboard, or in your fund, and choose to accept or reject them.

​
Granting

Collaborators can both suggest grants, and execute them, for your fund.
