Establishing a Donor Advised Fund allows you to make a gift to your community foundation, then remain actively involved in suggesting uses for your gift. You can work with the community foundation’s professional program staff to suggest ongoing uses for the fund – targeting the issues you care about most. Grant awards are issued to charities in the name of the fund (or anonymously if you prefer). It’s a simple, powerful, and highly personal approach to giving.

Donor Advised Funds provide a convenient, flexible way for families to get involved with the community and with one another. This type of fund allows donors to establish a charitable legacy in their family’s name, fulfill multiple charitable interests, and teach giving values to the next generation.
