Phil Tobin, one of the true pioneers in the development of donor advised funds, is Chairman/Founder of the Hudson, Ohio based iGiftFund. iGiftFund is a national, independent sponsor of donor advised funds. Why is this important to you, the financial advisor?• You manage and grow your clients’ charitable investments at all levels, on your familiar platform in open architecture.• You retain and enhance your trusted relationship with your clients.• You join us as co-stewards of your clients’ charitable legacy.• You help your clients diversify illiquid assets (closely-held shares, real estate, life insurance), into managed assets.• You earn and retain the loyalty of your clients’ heirs over future generations.• You distinguish your practice from your peers.My 33 years of experience with donor advised funds is arguably the longest in the industry. Throughout this time, I’ve helped donors and their financial advisors establish over $4 billion in donor funds on virtually all custodial platforms.Phil’s work in donor advised funds began in 1986 as CFO of The Cleveland Foundation, America’s first community foundation. While there, Phil co-founded The Investment Fund for Foundations (TIFF) to serve the investment needs of endowed charitable organizations including education-related institutions, cultural institutions and foundations. Phil left The Cleveland Foundation in 1992 to co-found the American Endowment Foundation (AEF), which is now the country’s 16th-largest charity. In 2017, Phil left AEF and co-founded iGiftFund.Phil is a graduate of the Wharton School of Pennsylvania and served as a financial executive at Sperry Rand, General Tire and Oglebay Norton.
