Our donors have accomplished remarkable things. Overcome long shots with other believers to build the Shaw Center for the Arts. Underwritten grants to nonprofits to find homes for unwanted kids. Created a youth service corps for education, while supporting the brightest college grads teaching public schoolchildren who just want a chance. Over 45 years, with the Foundation, they have made more than $215 million in grants.

We hope you join them.

Our promise is to make your giving effortless, effective and enduring.

Our donor services and partnership relations staff, working with our general counsel, can create a custom giving program for you, and provide you with knowledge of issues and nonprofits, as well as administrative support.

We recommend you start by calling Ms. Stewart Jones, of donor services, at 225.387.6126. If you prefer email, she’s at sjones@braf.org.

But if you would rather read a primer first, below are three steps for making a better world.

1. You assess what assets you are interested in donating to a charitable fund. A list of them is at this link.
2. You work with us to choose the type of charitable fund that suits you. Our fund types are linked here.
3. After putting assets in your charitable accounts, you start making grants, counting on us, if you choose, to be your guide. More on grantmaking is here.

Our more than 400 donors are eager for you to join their ranks. More hands doing good make for a better world.
