DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
A strategic approach to your philanthropy
When developing your charitable giving plan, a donor-advised fund is a compelling strategy to consider.

What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund allows an investor to make tax-deductible charitable contributions. The donor then recommends grants to qualified charities of their choice.
Who could benefit from a donor-advised fund?
Donor-advised funds are for investors with charitable intent who also may be seeking possible tax advantages associated with charitable giving.
Why establish a donor-advised fund?
An investor can contribute to a donor-advised fund without having to choose the recipient of their donation. This way, the investor can receive an income tax deduction right away and recommend the recipient of their donation when they’re ready.
