T.Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving

The T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving is a national donor-advised fund, a tax-favored vehicle that facilitates philanthropy without the administrative responsibilities or fees of a private foundation.

The Program is a simple, convenient way for your clients to lock in a full charitable tax deduction by making a contribution at any time of year. And — because it offers the flexibility of donating cash or long-term-appreciated securities — the Program can play a key role in annual tax planning for your clients. Once the account is established, clients decide when to recommend a distribution to support their favorite charities.

Incorporating the Program into your discussions of tax-planning strategies is a smart way to enhance the service and support you provide for clients.

Your role in the Program
When your client establishes a Program donor-advised fund account, you can be named as a secondary donor-advisor — enhancing opportunities to work with your clients to meet their financial and charitable goals and
help you meet your business goals.

As a secondary donor-advisor, you can be authorized to:
  • Change the allocation among four investment pools at any time
  • Make charitable grant recommendations
  • Receive quarterly statements
