The Crises Charitable Commitment is committed to protecting your privacy and confidential information in accordance with state and federal law.

  1. The Charitable Commitment is based on total contributions made to 501c3 or 501c4 organizations of your choice in your fiscal year, either on a cash or accrual basis (signatory chooses).
  2. Current year amounts include those made to date in or for this fiscal year, plus a reasonable estimate of contributions planned throughout the remainder of the year.
  3. All contribution amounts are based on reasonable estimates, rounded to the nearest $100,000.
  4. All contributions are annualized, i.e., if it is a multi-year contribution, divide total contribution by the number of years of gift.
  5. Reasonable related expenses may be included.
  6. The calculation is based on the endowment or net worth (the denominator) as of the previous end of fiscal year.
  7. For individuals, contributions to private foundations or donor- advised funds are counted only to the extent that they are distributed out to nonprofits in the same calendar year.
  8. One may choose to remain anonymous, but it is strongly preferred that the signatory’s name be public in order to have the greatest infuence on other donors.
  9. The information one provides is self monitored and donors may resubmit numbers at any time.
