A SMARTER APPROACH TO CHARITABLE GIVING
Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust (MS GIFT) strives to engage donors across the entire spectrum of wealth, ensuring their philanthropic aspirations and objectives will be achieved.

- The PM program creates customized investment strategies for high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients.

Introduction to Donor Advised Funds
A DAF is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a sponsoring organization such as MS GIFT, a 501(c)(3) public charity. DAFs are structured as 501(c)(3) organizations created with the intent of managing charitable donations on behalf of individuals, families and organizations.
Donor advised funds simplify charitable giving and Morgan Stanley clients have access to a DAF through MS GIFT, which is an independent section 501(c)(3) organization.
Investment Programs
There are two investment programs available to MS GIFT Donors: Select UMA and Portfolio Management (PM).
What Type of Assets Can Be Contributed
Donors may make irrevocable and nonrefundable gifts of cash, marketable securities, freely transferable restricted stock and exercised options.
Other non-liquid "complex" assets such as real estate, closely-held business interests, life insurance, artwork, and other collectibles may be accepted at the discretion of the MS GIFT's Board of Directors.
