# Givinga Foundation

> The Givinga Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 47-4172718) based in Boston, MA. We provide modern tools and infrastructure — donor-advised funds, fiscal sponsorship, and a free nonprofit portal — to help individuals, companies, and platforms support the causes they care about.

## Programs

- [Fiscal Sponsorship](https://www.givingafoundation.org/fiscal-sponsorship-learn-more): Tech-enabled fiscal sponsorship that lets changemakers operate charitable programs, fundraise, and report impact under our 501(c)(3) without forming their own nonprofit.
- [Charitable Foundation Account™](https://www.givingafoundation.org/charitable-foundation-accounts): A foundation-like charitable account — launch a charitable project in days, not months, without setting up a private foundation.
- [Charitable Investment Account™](https://www.givingafoundation.org/charitable-investment-account): A modern donor-advised fund (DAF) — contribute flexibly, grow funds tax-free, and support causes when ready.
- [Nonprofit Portal](https://www.givingafoundation.org/for-nonprofits): Free portal giving charities donation insights, donor information, and fast e-payments.
