Over 100 million Americans use 401(k)s for their retirement plans, which usually rely on asset managers, Micruity reported last December. Fidelity Investments and The Vanguard Group are among America\u2019s largest asset managers, managing over $7 trillion and $12 trillion in 2024 respectively. They established their own charitable arms in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

FC and Vanguard Charitable are independent cause-neutral 501(c)(3) public charities that house DAFs, which are giving accounts funded by individual donors who recommend grants to eligible nonprofits. They reportedly facilitated approximately a total of $1.4 million from 2020-2023 and $1.5 million from 2021-2024 in grants to Compassion & Choices through such accounts.<\/p>\n

Vanguard and FC both declined to comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompassion & Choices monitors research around America\u2019s aging population, conducts our own research, and listens closely to our hundreds of thousands of supporters, many of whom are part of the aging population or caring for aging loved ones and who represent a cross section of American political beliefs, faiths and demographics,\u201d a Compassion & Choices spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation when asked how America\u2019s aging population informs the advocacy group\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

Compassion & Choices and the C&C Action Network combined reportedly spent over $1.5 million on \u201cDirect Lobbying,\u201d $3.7 million on \u201cPolicy and Litigation,\u201d $3.9 million on \u201cAdvocacy,\u201d and $8.3 million on \u201cPublic Education\u201d in fiscal year 2024-2025.<\/p>\n

Assisted suicide has been legal in Canada since 2016, accounting for over 5% of the nation\u2019s deaths in 2024. A Canadian priest said he was offered assisted suicide twice over a broken hip, the DCNF reported in May.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thirteen states and D.C. legalized assisted suicide, according to Compassion & Choices\u2019 website. The group to expand assisted suicide access to at least half of the U.S. population by 2028.<\/p>\n

Disabled rights advocates filed lawsuits against and New York last month over concerns that medical staff would use the states\u2019 incoming assisted suicide laws to avoid providing disabled patients long-term medical care, the DCNF previously reported.<\/p>\n

Compassion & Choices defended\u00a0and California\u2019s End of Life Option Act from multiple disabled rights groups in and again in March 2025. The second lawsuit is pending, according to their website. They also defended current assisted suicide laws in Montana, D.C., and Vermont against multiple overturn attempts from the jurisdictions\u2019 respective legislatures.<\/p>\n

In addition to suggesting \u201cVoluntary Stop of Eating and Drinking\u201d under certain circumstances, Compassion & Choices\u2019 also suggested considering end-of-life \u201cdoulas\u201d to help with \u201ccaregiver education, nonmedical physical care advice, life and legacy review, ritual creation, funeral guidance, estate planning, companionship, respite, and emotional support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur view around healthcare at the end of life is rooted in the freedoms Americans cherish: that terminally ill, mentally capable adults should not have the government impose one set of beliefs on how they must face the end of life,\u201d the Compassion & Choices spokesperson told the DCNF. \u201cT<\/span>hese are private decisions that should be made by individual Americans in consultation with their doctors, families, faith leaders, and loved ones, not by politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

FC in particular also helped facilitated over $82 million in grants to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, $834,000 to the pro-LGBTQ+ Human Rights Campaign, and $4 million to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2022, according to InfluenceWatch.<\/p>\n

FC and Vanguard Charitable are \u201ccause-neutral,\u201d so facilitated grants don\u2019t represent an endorsement by them or the financial service companies that helped establish them. This also means that such grants can go to both left-wing and right-wing nonprofits \u2013<\/i> so long as they\u2019re considered eligible. FC was accused of denying grants to organizations that SPLC listed as hate groups in a July 2023 , the DCNF previously reported.<\/p>\n

Both charities began denying grants to SPLC after the U.S. Department of Justice indicted the left-wing legal advocacy group for allegedly funding hate groups, multiple outlets reported last April.<\/p>\n
