What we aim to solve
PPF offers clients a charitable platform, either a Fiscal Sponsorship (FS) or Donor Advised Fund (DAF), to support charitable missions of philanthropists. Daily, our organization is serving the needs of our philanthropic clients. Our second-to-none customer service, ability to refer clients to other fundraising vehicles or vendors, attention to best practices in philanthropy, focus on IRS compliance, and our own charitable purpose sets us apart from others. PPFs services allow the client to focus on the program and fundraising work product while we focus on being the fiduciary.
