Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating donor-directed asset management are provided. In one embodiment, a program agreement may be established between a donor and a donee and an asset may be donated from the donor to the donee. The program agreement may specify, among other things, a period of time for investing the asset. The donor may invest the asset after donating it to the donee according to the terms of the program agreement. The investment of the asset may be monitored by an administrator to help ensure compliance with the program agreement. When the period for investing expires, the donor may relinquish investment control, and the asset and any proceeds realized by its investment may be transferred to the donee.
