Who We Serve

Learn more about how CAF America helps donors build their philanthropic vision and create a lasting impact.

Individuals & Families

Individual philanthropy usually begins with a story: a story of hope, a story of courage, a story of inspiration. CAF America will help you take that story global.

Advisors

As a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) sponsor, CAF America offers giving solutions that can integrate into your clients’ planned giving strategies—on a global scale.

Corporations & Corporate Foundations

CAF America partners with companies and corporate foundations to safely and securely facilitate global philanthropic strategies that are aligned with your programs and values.

U.S. Nonprofits

Cross-border giving may be essential to meet your foundation’s philanthropic goals, but it can also be complicated, time-consuming, and costly. By partnering with CAF America, you can expand your giving to foreign charities without the substantial investment in staff and training required to ensure full legal compliance.

Foreign Nonprofits

By becoming eligible with CAF America, your organization can receive tax-effective donations from American donors without needing to assume the burden of creating and maintaining a separate organization. Instead, you can focus your time and energy on donor engagement and fundraising.

Giving Platforms

With more than 30 years of experience in international giving, CAF America’s industry-leading compliance solutions are a perfect complement to your donor-facing grantmaking platform.
