The Impact Account model

Give smarter, not just faster.

An Impact Account is a modern donor-advised fund: one place to contribute, one receipt for taxes, and unlimited grants to charities anywhere in the world.

Instant tax receipts on deposits

Your contribution to the Impact Account is an irrevocable gift to Global Fund for Assistance Inc., a US 501(c)(3). The deductible receipt is issued the moment your payment settles — not when the grant is sent.

Flexible grant timing

Deduct this tax year, decide later. Hold funds while you research, respond to a disaster in minutes, or schedule recurring grants monthly or quarterly.

Zero minimums

Open an account with $5. No monthly fees, no balance requirements, and no processing or management fees charged to donors.

Tax-free investing

Optionally invest your charitable balance in a diversified portfolio. Growth is tax-free. No management fees.

International grantmaking

We support registered charities in over 100 countries through equivalency determination or expenditure responsibility, so your gift stays compliant and deductible.

How Donations and Grants Work

How Donations and Grants Work

Donations are made to Global Fund for Assistance Inc., a charitable organization that receives and administers charitable contributions in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and its charitable purposes.

Donors may recommend eligible nonprofit organizations, charitable projects, or causes they would like their contributions to support. These recommendations are reviewed by Global Fund for Assistance Inc.; however, all funds remain subject to the organization's oversight, charitable-purpose requirements, recipient eligibility review, and applicable compliance procedures.

Global Fund for Assistance Inc. reviews recommended nonprofit recipients and, when approved, may issue grants or charitable disbursements to support eligible programs and activities. Every dollar is a recommendation — recommendations that become grants.

Donor recommendations are advisory and do not constitute an automatic or legally binding direction to transfer funds to a particular organization. Global Fund for Assistance Inc. retains the discretion and control required to ensure that charitable funds are used for eligible charitable purposes. Fund assets are pooled and administered by Global Fund for Assistance Inc. — not held in individual accounts — and are not insured or guaranteed.

This structure promotes transparency, accountability, and compliance while giving donors the ability to recommend the charitable organizations and causes they wish to support.

All grants and disbursements are subject to the applicable Cause Funds Terms of Use, eligibility requirements, compliance procedures, and charitable giving policies of Global Fund for Assistance Inc..
