Wondering how long it will take to get set up?

As much time as you need! Once our success team has the inputs they need from your firm, your custom-branded donor-advised fund program can be ready in a matter of days.

Firm-level legal agreements

A representative from your firm will be required to sign the Charityvest for Advisors Firm Agreement with Charityvest, Inc.

This agreement outlines the nature of the relationship between Charityvest, Inc. and the investment advisory services provided by your firm to your clients via your custom giving platform.

Beyond this agreement, your advisors do not need to complete any forms as part of participating in your custom donor-advised fund program. Advisors and clients will simply need to accept the terms and conditions of their online accounts.

Onboarding questionnaire

Once your firm has committed to establishing a custom donor-advised fund program via Charityvest for Advisors, our success team will invite your firm to complete a brief onboarding questionnaire (via Typeform). A representative from your team will be prompted to submit basic branding preferences and company information. Within 1-2 days of receipt, our success team will finalize your branded environment.

Firm Admin training

Once your custom-branded donor-advised fund has been created, our success team will invite your firm to a 1-hour live call to instruct any firm representatives responsible for program administration on creating custom investment portfolios, establishing a fee schedule, and initiating advisor invitations.

Marketing opportunities

  • Published article/case study

  • Internal promotions (ex. advisor incentives and events)

  • Partnership press release

  • Educational articles and videos as requested

  • Guest author opportunities

  • Social media storytelling (ex. Giving Tuesday profile)

  • Community Fund promotions (i.e. featured by Charityvest, social media announcements)

Additional training is available as needed for your team of advisors, in the form of office hours, webinars, in-app product tours, ongoing support, and access to the .
