Total fees

The total annual fees for your Program account are the sum of the administrative and investment fees.

The Program continues to have some of the lowest administrative fees among the largest national donor-advised funds:

Account Balance Administrative Fee
Up to $500,000 0.50%
Between $500,000 and $999,999 0.39%
