The PCA Foundation’s charges for operating costs are among the lowest of donor-advised fund sponsors, and it continually looks for ways to cut costs so that it can further reduce those charges. Its operating budget is reviewed and approved each year by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America.

• No fees or charges on Advise & Consult Fund® funds or most single charity funds.
• Operational grant of 1% of fair market value of the portion of the asset donated for complex gifts (excluding publicly-traded securities and exchange-traded cryptocurrency) with a minimum charge of $3,000 and a maximum charge of $120,000.
• Operational grant of 10 basis points of value of donated exchange-traded cryptocurrency, with a minimum charge of $100 and a maximum charge of $5,000.
• No investment management or oversight fee, except those charged by third party investment managers, like the current 41 bps charged by Synovus for investment management.
• Scheduled balanced-based charges on Increase Funds and other vehicles identified below.
• No other fees or charges.

The Foundation’s operating budget is underwritten by charitable contributions for operations some donors choose to give, and earnings on Advise & Consult Fund funds. In addition, the Foundation collects balanced-based charges, accrued monthly on the average daily balance (including the value of non-cash assets), from Increase Funds, Designated Funds, split-interest trusts (CRTs and CLTs), endowments, and invested Single Charity Funds in accordance with the following schedule. We invite you to compare these charges to those of other DAF sponsors.
