# Collaborate on a Fund

> Manage your fund with a trusted advisor or family member.

# 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](/donors/getting-started/donating-to-a-fund), [making grant recommendations](/donors/getting-started/recommending-grants), and [managing portfolio positions](/donors/getting-started/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.
