National Philanthropic Trust

NPT was founded out of a family office in 1996 in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. In 2000, they began partnering with financial institutions to provide donor-advised funds to institutional clients. Contributions from donors broke the $1 billion mark in 2005. In 2011, NPT began accepting contributions of illiquid assets like closely held stock, hedge fund interest, and real estate. NPT launched their first global affiliate in 2013. In 2016, NPT launched "A History of Modern Philanthropy", a digital resource dedicated to charting the different forms philanthropy has taken over the past five hundred years. The site explores charitable giving through an interactive timeline that shows how philanthropy has evolved globally. It highlights two hundred key moments in the history of charitable giving. Since its founding in 1996, NPT has raised nearly $13 billion in charitable contributions. It currently manages $7.4 billion in charitable assets. NPT has made more than 250,000 grants totaling nearly $6 billion to charities all over the world. == Philanthropic services ==

NPT offers a broad suite of charitable vehicle offerings and philanthropic support services. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a giving vehicle administered by a public charity. Donor-advised funds allow donors to make charitable contributions and receive the maximum tax deduction available. NPT's DAFs can accept a wide range of assets including cash, publicly traded securities, tangible personal property, closely held stock, and cryptocurrency. NPT also offers foundation-advised funds and corporate-advised funds to support collaborative funding projects championed by institutional donors. Type 1 supporting organizations offer similar tax advantages to donor-advised funds. Supporting organizations are a popular choice for philanthropists who want more control over grantmaking and investments than a donor-advised fund, but less expense and administrative burden than a private foundation. NPT currently facilitates several supporting organizations, including the Saint Agatha Foundation. == International grantmaking ==

NPT also works with donors who wish to make grants to charities based outside the US. NPT Transatlantic is an international affiliate of NPT based in the UK, and NPT UK is an independent UK registered charity. == Donor-advised fund report ==

NPT publishes the Donor-Advised Fund Report (DAF Report), an annual industry report consisting of comprehensive data on donor-advised funds in the United States. NPT began tracking data on donor-advised funds in 2007, using filings from all charities that complete the IRS 990. The report is an analysis of trends in the data. Key metrics include the number of individual donor-advised funds in the U.S., total dollars granted from them, total contributions to them and total charitable assets in them. == Senior management ==
