h2(#to_donors). May our donors make donations of real estate, business interests, stock or other assets into our Charity Advised Fund? 

Yes. The WaterStone passion is to help transform these types of assets into living water useful for the Kingdom of God. Please <a href="/contact/" title="Contact Us">Contact Us</a> and our capable staff will help determine the best solution to meet your donors’ needs. 

h2(#to_balance). How will we know the balance of our Charity Advised Fund? 

Once funded, you will receive financial statements and a donor report on a quarterly basis. These reports will show the balance and transactions of the fund. If you wish to verify the balance at other times, please <a href="/contact/" title="Contact Us">Contact Us</a>.

h2(#to_invested). How will our fund be invested? 

WaterStone invites charity Fund Advisors to recommend investments for funds with balances of $25,000 or greater, or to nominate trusted financial advisors to recommend investments for their Charity Advised Fund assets (subject to the review of the Board of Directors). Normal compensation for the financial advisor is paid through the brokerage institution. 
Funds with $5,000 or more will receive an Indexed Money Market return.

h2(#to_turnaround). Once our distribution request is received in your office, what is the turnaround time for a check to be issued? 

Checks are issued once a week, usually on Thursday. Once the status of the charity has been verified by the WaterStone Client Services and the cash has become available in your Charity Advised Fund, the turnaround time can be less than a week. The time may vary for Funds with investments, which must be converted to cash. 

h2(#to_gift). When a donation is received into our Charity Advised Fund, will we know the donor of the gift? 

WaterStone mails a quarterly Donor Report that will list donor names, unless a donor wishes to remain anonymous. When gifts are received from estate settlements, Charitable Gift Annuity agreements, or other planned giving documents, you will be contacted by the WaterStone Client Services Department.
