Nothing on this site opens an account by itself. Fees are confirmed in conversation and written into the account or sponsorship agreement.
What we do not charge
- We do not charge a fee on a balance sitting in a fund.
- No referral fees, finder’s fees, or commissions to advisors.
- No hidden “account is free” framing — opening a DAF at $0 is not the fund being free.
Where this applies
The 10% is on contributions coming into a fiscally sponsored project. The 1% is on contributions coming into a Paramount Legacy Fund. Confirm the matching line on the program page before you start a conversation.
