The mission of Fidelity Charitable® is to grow the American tradition of philanthropy by providing programs that make charitable giving accessible, simple, and effective. Founded in 1991, Fidelity Charitable® launched the first national donor-advised fund program, democratizing philanthropy by enabling a broad array of people to give smarter—both financially and strategically. Today, we sponsor more than 150,000 donor-advised funds connected to more than 250,000 donors and are the nation’s largest grant maker.
