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.
