Eligible Donors

The American Center for Philanthropy will accept contributions from individuals, private foundations, corporations, trusts, and estates. Any number of donors may pool their contributions into a single Charitable Gift Account, subject to ACP’s approval.

The minimum initial contribution to open a Charitable Gift Account is $5,000.

For Charitable Gift Accounts established by multiple donors, the initial contribution must total an aggregate of at least $5,000; each donor to such a joint Charitable Gift Account does not need to contribute $5,000 individually.
