Complex assets
Facilitate a complex asset contribution on behalf of your client alongside Charitable Solutions.
Your clients may wish for your assistance in contributing a variety of complex assets to their giving account through your custom giving program, including:
Private / Pre-IPO Stock
LLC and Limited Partnership interests
Private Equity, Hedge Fund, and Venture Capital Fund interests
Real Estate
Life Insurance
Retirement assets
Royalties
For specialized donations, Charityvest for Advisors partners with a purpose-built complex gift acceptance firm to receive, report, custody, liquidate, and distribute proceeds for such assets. Our partner firm, Charitable Solutions LLC, has nearly two decades of experience and has processed nearly $4.5 billion in non-cash gifts from individual donors into their donor-advised funds at various sponsors.
How it works
As early as practical, request an introduction. Request an introduction to Charitable Solutions via your client’s profile in your advisor account. Please fill in any available details regarding the possible donation.
Receive consultation on gift process, timing, and fees. Charitable Solutions will cover the process and potential transaction with you and your client, including a timeline and gift processing fees. There is no cost or obligation to receive this consultation.
Charitable Solutions receives and liquidates the donation, transferring proceeds to the client's account. Once the asset is sold, the proceeds will be posted to your client's giving account, net of processing fees, and will be available for granting. Charitable Solutions will provide gift acknowledgment to substantiate the donation for tax purposes.
