If you want to support a charity that operates outside of the U.S., there are several ways that Charityvest can help:
If the charity has a U.S.-based entity or fiscal sponsor, you can recommend a grant from Charityvest to that organization and designate your gift for the international branch.
TrustBridge Global is a foundation with collaborative relationships around the world, enabling them to professionally manage and deploy charitable giving internationally. With TrustBridge Global, you can feel confident knowing that your gift will be delivered safely and efficiently.
TrustBridge Global performs due diligence to make your client's charity eligible. TrustBridge will work with your chosen charity to complete a streamlined application, ensuring that the organization is properly vetted and able to receive your gift while preserving tax deductibility.
If you are interested in making an international grant via TrustBridge:
Log in to your account Dashboard.
Select the I’m interested button under the International grantmaking section.
Review the step-by-step process overview. Click the Get started button. You can also click to view the 1-pager for more information about TrustBridge Global.
Complete the form details to initiate an introduction to the TrustBridge Global team. You will need to answer the following questions:
What is the name of the international charity?
Where is this charity located?
What is the best way to contact somebody at this charity?
How much do you plan to give to this organization in the next 12-18 months?
Additional information or questions.
Based on your entry for How much do you plan to give to this organization in the next 12-18 months? we will automatically estimate the fee in accordance with the TrustBridge fee structure.
Click Submit to TrustBridge to submit. We will share your inquiry with the TrustBridge team along with a summary of responses for your reference.

While there are no minimums for international grants, we find that a total grant value of >$5,000 is typically the best fit, given the associated costs.
Depending on the charity, partnering with TrustBridge Global to initiate an international grant may include the following fees:
$150 for an annual charity certification (if needed).
1% fee per grant assessment (minimum fee amount: $300).
$25 per grant for wire transfer to charity.

If the charity does not have a tax-deductible U.S. donation process, Charityvest has partnered with to facilitate international grantmaking for a fee.
Recommend your international charity to the TrustBridge Global network. Submit the recommendation form to add your chosen charity to TrustBridge. If the charity is not one of the already vetted by TrustBridge, there will be a $150 assessment to initiate due diligence for charity certification, which may be paid from your DAF.
Make a grant from your giving account to TrustBridge Global. Upon confirming charity eligibility, you will need to recommend a grant to (EIN 84-3754469) and include the charity name in the grant “Purpose” field. Once received, TrustBridge will deliver the funds to the charity, less an assessment of $300 or 1% of the grant amount, whichever is greater.
