How It Works

Participation in Philanthropy Inc. requires a minimum of $5 million to direct towards charitable purposes. This can derive from a single client with $5 million, or it can be pooled among a group of clients to total $5 million.

Once a Philanthropy, Inc. account is established and the minimum threshold is met, new charitable funds may be opened for any client and for any size fund. Every client is afforded the very best in philanthropic support and receives customized time and attention from MCF staff. All charitable assets are managed by the advisory firm, while MCF focuses on helping clients efficiently and effectively manage their philanthropy.
