A Philanthropi Impact Account™ is a donor-advised fund (DAF). A DAF is a special account that lets donors make contributions, immediately see the tax benefit but defer grants to a later date.

Donors can start their philanthropic journey with Philanthropi following three simple steps:

1. Create an Impact Account
2. Contribute to the Impact Account
3. Donate to the charities of your choice, as long as they are registered as a 5013C

Currently, you will receive a paper check in the mail.  Grants are typically processed in 5-7 business days.  Starting sometime in the fall, Philanthropi will have an ACH solution.

You will receive the name of the donor’s DAF/Impact Account.

No, a Philanthropi Impact account is a donor-advised fund (DAF) which means the donor receives the tax deduction when they make a contribution into their Impact Account. Donors do not receive a second tax credit when your organization receives the funds via a grant.
