In this episode of Money to Give, Rick Peck sits down with Randy Fox, founder of Two Hawks Family Office Services and a nationally recognized expert in charitable estate planning. Together, they unpack one of the most versatile yet underutilized tools in philanthropy: the pooled income fund. Randy explains how pooled income funds — often overshadowed by charitable remainder trusts and gift annuities — can provide donors with lifetime income, flexible investment options, and significant tax advantages, all while creating long-term charitable impact. The conversation explores: What pooled income funds are and how they differ from charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) and charitable gift annuities (CGAs) How both major universities and community foundations use these funds to support their missions Why modern “donor- and advisor-friendly” pooled income funds are making a comeback The flexibility to accept a wide range of assets — from real estate and closely held business interests to cryptocurrency Innovative structures like Randy’s “Preferred Pooled Income Fund,” which combine charitable giving with advanced estate planning strategies Randy also shares how younger donors and multi-generational families can use these funds to align income, impact, and legacy in a single strategy.
