Our Trust & Security Posture
At Charityvest, it is our top priority to keep stakeholder data secure. Learn more about our information security posture.
Charityvest has attempted to select best-in-class financial partners and vendors. We hold our vendors to a high standard of quality and reputation.
Every contribution to Charityvest, Inc. - whether cash, card, crypto, or securities - is facilitated by a US-based, US-regulated participant in their respective part of the financial system. Our partners ensure required reporting under KYC / AML, Travel Rule, PATRIOT Act, OFAC / SDN sanctions lists, and similar programs.
Additionally, Charityvest can only be used to distribute funds to eligible US-based 501(c)(3) public charities via a limited number of disbursement modalities. As a result, our platform's fraud resistance is enhanced simply due to effort: it requires some meaningful work to abuse.
All assets are fully legally owned and controlled by Charityvest, Inc, which maintains customary insurance against potential losses from crime or cyber threats.
Charityvest is powered by Vennfi, Inc., a for-profit mission-oriented software company. Vennfi's financial performance does not pose a risk to Charityvest donor assets, as Vennfi is a fully-separate entity.
Charityvest donors are free to recommend a grant to a different DAF sponsor at any time, provided that sponsor is eligible for a grant per IRS guidelines.
Donor-advised fund balances are held with Alpaca Securities LLC. As of July 2023, cash balances, including those of Community Funds, are held in cash by Alpaca Securities LLC at BMO Harris Bank.
