    The Program for Charitable Giving

    Charitable Giving
    The T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable GivingSM is a donor-advised fund that can help you simplify giving and establish a framework to carry on a philanthropic tradition beyond your lifetime. The fund has some of the lowest fees among the largest national donor-advised funds—and it allows you to recommend grants to your favorite charities.
    • Your account can be invested among six professionally managed investment pools—each with a different asset allocation—where your money can potentially grow tax-free while you decide where to donate the funds. Note that the minimum initial contribution amount is $10,000.
    • You can invest your account in one pool or a combination of the investment pools.
    • You can easily recommend grants to charities from your Program account online or by mail or fax.

    The T. Rowe Price Family Center

    Teaching Kids the ABCs of Saving and Spending Wisely

    The T. Rowe Price Family Center is a website dedicated to helping parents engage children in conversations about managing money. Parents like you share their most memorable experiences with money in Lessons From Childhood. The site also offers an online game called The Great Piggy Bank AdventureSM, which teaches basic financial principles in an educational and fun way. One or more players can join the adventure to learn more about setting goals, saving money, avoiding the dangers of inflation, and diversifying assets.

    • Meet colorful characters: From the small town of Fiscalville, players travel through a lush jungle and wilderness—interacting with talking piggy banks and big, bad wolves—to the bright lights of Fat City.
    • Tackle tough choices about saving and spending: Each level reinforces financial lessons.
    • Track Progress: Players earn badges when topics are mastered, and games can be saved for returning players.

    For those who prefer a quick trip rather than a full adventure, mini-games offer an abbreviated experience.
