Benefits of Donor Advised Funds

The benefits of a setting up a donor advised fund include:

  • A tax preferred alternative to a private foundation;
  • An immediate charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of the assets you transfer;
  • The fund can be named according to the donor’s choice;
  • Elimination of all capital gains taxes;
  • Ability to recommend distributions to charities you support;
  • Ability to pass on the right to recommend distributions from your fund to your children; and
  • Participation in our Donor Advised Fund Investment Program.
