Types of Funds
The charitable choice of millions, Donor Advised Funds are the fastest-growing charitable vehicle in the United States. For good reason – you can create one in as fast as two hours and receive the maximum tax benefit permitted by the IRS. A single gift to the Foundation can establish a fund ($10,000 is the recommended minimum) and allows donors to maintain a hands-on and flexible approach to charitable giving.
