Who We Serve
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.
We manage compliance for you
From validating 501(c)(3) status to navigating foreign countries’ regulations, we manage regulatory compliance, mitigate potential risks, and protect your reputation.
These services are built into our grantmaking protocols, allowing for safe and secure giving to more than 1.9 million charities in 135 countries.
We also eliminate the administrative burden associated with granting to international beneficiaries and offer tailored solutions to community, private, and family foundations.
How CAF America can help
Enjoy more flexibility in your giving
CAF America’s support for your foundation’s giving will be proportional to the volume and intensity of your international grantmaking activity. Make periodic single gifts or open a Donor Advised Fund so you can advise multiple grants and maximize your impact.
Give to challenging markets
With over 30 years of experience facilitating international giving to 135 countries, we can navigate complex recipient country regulations. We will ensure your grants go where they are intended and are made in full regulatory compliance.
Receive real-time updates
If you have an existing grant management platform, CAF America’s technical experts will integrate our system with yours. This allows us to provide real-time updates about your grantmaking activities, including the vetting status of your advised grantees and your available balance.
Track your impact
CAF America can tailor your program to include data collection and reporting that measures the impact of your programs and supports post-grant analysis. We will also map your grants to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), allowing you to track your grantmaking against a global standard.
