Giving

• The administrative burden is eliminated, freeing you up to focus on the mission and impact of your corporate giving.
• Foundation staff provide guidance and expertise to help craft a strategic approach that maximizes the benefit to both the community and your company.
• There is a potential for growth; your charitable fund is prudently invested in a tax-sheltered vehicle and managed by a team of professionals.
• There is structure to your giving; establishing a focus for your DAF will help you politely decline donation requests that are outside of that scope.
• A DAF allows you to manage the timing of your contributions for tax-efficiency. You can give more in robust years, and continue to make grants in more lean times.
• Not only will you be making a positive impact in the communities you serve, your company will gain positive PR for your efforts. Studies show good corporate citizenship is a top priority for more than 70% of Americans.
• A corporate giving program can be important for employee recruitment and retention. The structure of DAF allows for employee involvement, whether in helping to choose a grantee or volunteering with the organizations your company supports.
• DAFs are designed for both short-term giving and long-term planning. You are able to make an impact today with your granting, and build the fund to help meet future needs
