Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds are an easy and rewarding way for donors to support multiple charitable interests over time. When a fund is established (or additional contribuitions are made) donors recieve an immediate tax deduction for their gift and then may suggest grants to any public charity in the USA, including churches and college alma maters.

For many families, a donor advised fund becomes an attractive alternative to creating a private foundation. In addition to offering the greates tax advantage, donor advised funds are simple to establish and easy to operate. Foundation staff handles all the adminstrative functions allowing familes to focus their time on grantmaking.
