Donor Advised Funds - How it Works
• You make a gift to your community foundation — you can give cash, appreciated stocks, real estate, or other assets.
• We set up a special fund in your name, in the name of your family or business, or in honour of any person or organization you choose.
• You receive tax benefits the year your gift is made.
• You recommend uses for your fund — working with our local grantmaking experts to support the agencies and programs you care about most.
• Your recommendations are presented to our community foundation board for approval.
• We handle all the administrative details and issue grants to charities in the name of your fund (if you prefer, your grants can be made anonymously).
