Simplify your giving.
Amplify your impact.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is the simplest way to make a big impact for donors giving $20K or more. It’s flexible, easy, and on your terms: choose the causes you care about, set your own timing, and keep everything in one convenient place. When giving is this simple, you can focus on what matters—making a difference.

Are you getting holistic advice from your wealth advisor?
Supporting the causes you care about – and managing your tax liability – are important parts of your financial strategy. Yet your advisor might not know that you are interested in philanthropy. If you are giving more than $20K annually, charitable giving should be a regular topic with your financial advisor.

Ren makes DAFs simple and accessible to everyone, working directly with your advisor to ensure charitable giving becomes a seamless part of your overall financial strategy.
