Your mission is important, and we’re here to support it.
Make it easy for donors to support your organization
Make the most of planned giving donations. All 501(c)3 organizations in good standing with the IRS are eligible to receive donor-advised fund (DAF) grant funds.
Claim your charity in Ren’s Charity Portal to connect with more donors and direct more funds to your charity. Our portal allows DAF donors to easily find your organization as they research which charities to support and lets charitable organizations receive grant funds more quickly and safely via ACH.
It’s easy to get started. Visit our portal, search for your charity by name or EIN, select your organization, and click the “Claim” button.

Donor-advised funds
Ren’s most popular service for individuals is the set up and management of donor-advised funds, which allow for the transfer of assets to a public charity for the purpose of charitable giving.
Donor-advised funds are a wonderful tool for establishing a legacy of giving. Heirs and loved ones can be part of the process of distributing grants to charity and can even be named successor grant advisors so the donor-advised fund can last for generations.
A charitable gift annuity is a contract between a charity and a donor in which the donor irrevocably transfers assets to the charity in exchange for the payment of a fixed sum to the donor and/or beneficiaries for the lifetime(s) of up to two beneficiaries.
This is an effective solution for donors with appreciated assets they would like to move outside of their taxable holdings.
Charitable lead trust
Charitable lead trust
A charitable lead trust is an irrevocable agreement in which a donor transfers assets to a trust that creates an income or lead interest for a charity.
A charitable lead trust is a powerful charitable planning tool used to generate charitable deductions for income, gift, or estate taxes.
Charitable remainder trust
Charitable remainder trust
A charitable remainder trust is a tax-exempt trust that can liquidate an asset to create two interests: income interest and remainder interest.
This approach is especially beneficial for charitably minded individuals who are subject to paying capital gains taxes on appreciated assets, whose estate is subject to estate taxes, and who need ongoing income.
Pooled income fund
Pooled income fund
A pooled income fund offers a great opportunity for individuals with philanthropic ambitions but modest amounts to contribute.
An irrevocable trust maintained by a public charity, a pooled income fund combines gifts from a number of donors, investing them together to generate funds for distribution to charitable organizations.
Pooled special needs trust
Pooled special needs trust
A pooled special needs trust generates funds for individuals with disabilities. Assets contributed by multiple donors are combined and invested together, with funds being spent on individual beneficiaries in proportion to their share of the total amount.
Private foundation
Private foundation
A private foundation is established as a tax-exempt entity that can receive contributions as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
A private foundation works well for donors who wish to receive a current income tax deduction, and who may wish to use the foundation as the charitable recipient of distributions from a charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust.
