Once your client has accepted their invitation to their giving account under your firm's custom DAF program, you can invite others to join them in giving via shared accounts.

By sharing their account access, clients can:

  • Manage their family’s charitable fund alongside spouses or other loved ones.

  • Involve the next generation in philanthropy by sharing their account access with children or grandchildren.

  • Collaborate with trusted colleagues on corporate giving initiatives.

Clients can also add fund managers independently with

How secure is shared account access?

Every invited fund manager will receive a unique login and must set up their own secure credentials. We use industry-standard security and monitor all access activity. about our security posture in our public-facing guide.

Authorized fund managers

If your client wishes to share access to their private donor-advised fund account with one or more people, you can authorize additional fund members on their behalf.

The client who you, as their advisor, invited to open a donor-advised fund account is considered the , while any members invited to the fund later on are .

Primary fund manager

If your client is the primary fund manager on their giving account, they can:

Their personal information will be what recipient charities see (if they choose to share it).

My client is the primary fund manager. Will all tax receipts be in their name?

Tax receipting will be tied to the account holder that initiated the contribution. For example, if a client's family member was added as a fund manager and used their credit card to contribute to your client’s giving account, the family member will receive a tax statement in their name for the amount of their gift.

Additional fund managers

My client has been added as an additional fund manager. Will they still get a tax receipt for their giving?

Your client will be issued an annual tax statement in their name for any contribution they initiate, even if they are not the primary fund manager.

How to invite additional fund managers

  • Click on your client’s name to expand their profile.

  • Select the Fund settings tab under their profile page.

  • Click the Add new members button under the Authorized fund members section.

  • Complete the invitation form with the email address of the recipient and optional invitation note.

  • Send your invitation. After you review and confirm the details, we’ll share your personal note and invitation in an email.

Your client's invited additional fund manager does not need an account under your firm's giving program or Charityvest. They will receive an email with instructions to join your client’s account. If they already have an account under your firm's giving program or Charityvest, they can sign in to access your client’s account. Otherwise, they will be invited to create a new Charityvest account.

What is the maximum number of fund managers my client can have on one account?
