Charityvest, a donor-advised fund (DAF) sponsor focused on increasing generosity through modern technology, has released its 2025 Annual Report. The report details substantial year-over-year growth in charitable contributions and grants, alongside key enhancements to its DAF platform. Foundation Source, a leading provider of philanthropic software and services, acquired Vennfi—the fintech company powering Charityvest—in October 2024. This integration allows Charityvest to combine its mission-driven approach with Foundation Source’s established technology and experience to offer secure, streamlined, and accessible giving solutions for individuals, families, and organizations. The platform serves individual and corporate donors, and collaborates with financial advisors, nonprofits, institutions, and workplaces to establish DAF programs for their stakeholders. In 2025, Charityvest reported that charitable contributions more than doubled, with over 13,000 transactions totaling $265 million, an increase from $99.2 million in 2024. Grantmaking also saw a sharp rise, with 48,744 grants issued amounting to $119.2 million, up from $52.2 million in the previous year. Donors utilized the platform to support 9,412 unique charities. Assets under management (AUM) grew by 84%, reaching $224.6 million, and the platform recorded a payout rate of 118%, significantly higher than the industry average of 25.3%. Lifetime contributions exceeded $460 million in 2025, with more than half of this total contributed within the past year. This growth positions Charityvest among the fastest-growing DAF providers in the market, driven by an expanding donor base and an increase in average contribution size, particularly through partnerships with wealth managers. The average contribution per active donor increased by 128% in 2025, surpassing $100,000. Stephen Kump, Founder and President of Charityvest, stated, “These results reflect our mission of enabling people to live a generous life through purposeful giving, powered by innovative technology that makes giving enjoyable and approachable. We saw more people commit capital to charity and move it into impact faster, reinforcing our belief that when giving is intentional and well-supported, generosity follows.” The report also highlighted donor activity in 2025, showing a broad range of philanthropic priorities. The highest volume of grants was directed to faith-based and human services organizations, followed by public and societal benefit. Significant support was also allocated to education, environmental and animal welfare, and health-related causes. This reflects a broader trend where families and their advisors are increasingly integrating charitable planning into tax-smart, legacy-driven wealth strategies, with modern DAF platforms serving as essential tools. Charityvest expanded its capabilities in 2025 by entering the university funding sector with the launch of Temple University’s fully branded DAF program. This initiative offers alumni and supporters a flexible, tax-efficient method to contribute to the university and other qualified charities. Additionally, the company introduced multi-custodial capabilities, allowing advisors to view and manage client DAF balances held at external custodians within their branded programs. This feature supports cash, securities, and complex assets, enhancing advisors’ visibility and facilitating the integration of philanthropy into client discussions. Kump commented on these developments, saying, “Expanding our capabilities in 2025 wasn’t just about new features – it was about supporting how generosity fits into people’s real lives. Everything we developed this year was designed to meet people where they are and help them give in ways that feel practical, intentional, and lasting.”
