Encouraging Personal Involvement

Most institutional donor-advised funds restrict the donor to recommending grants only to public charities, colleges and universities, and religious organizations. The management of the donor-advised fund need only verify that the proposed grant recipient is a qualified 501(c)(3) entity.

NHF is different. While the director of a Foundation at NHF is also permitted to make a recommendation for a grant to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization, NHF encourages the donor to become personally involved. This means taking direct, operational control of hands-on charity work, like planning the routes, and finding the drivers to deliver the surplus food to the poor. If there are expenses associated with the work (such as reimbursing a volunteer for mileage, or paying for refrigerated food storage) the director can request NHF to make disbursements from his or her Foundation at NHF.

It is this kind of hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart work which sustains philanthropy and becomes its purest expression, as Mother Theresa's mission in Calcutta perfectly illustrates.
