The Many Advantages of a Donor Advised Fund
A Donor Advised Fund offers a simple and tax-efficient way to maximize the impact of your charitable giving.
It allows donors like you to create your very own charitable fund in which contributions are eligible for a tax deduction and grow tax-free, leveraging the value of your philanthropy. You have the flexibility to recommend the specific organizations you’d like to benefit from grants awarded through your fund as needs and opportunities arise.
MANAGE YOUR FUND
You can view Fund activity, submit a grant recommendation and more all at your convenience through our new 24/7 donor web portal.
