Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds give donors the most flexibility with their charitable gift, while providing an immediate tax benefit. Donors suggest ongoing uses for their fund—targeting the issues and organizations they care about most – locally, nationally or internationally. It’s a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving. Donor Advised Funds can be established by individuals and families, or by businesses to manage their charitable giving.
