Giving Funds

A Giving Fund is a donor advised fund designed to make charitable giving easier.  As part of a public charity, this strategy seeks to offer the maximum tax advantages of all other charitable giving options, and can provide you with a simplified giving process without the administrative and regulatory complications and expenses of other charitable vehicles.

• Flexibility to name successor advisors for the gift account and to select that the gift account exist in perpetuity
• Opportunity to create a family legacy by involving the next generation in the gift account
• Ability to donate low cost-basis stock without incurring capital gains taxes while receiving an income tax deduction for the fair market value of the stock
• Tax-free growth of charitable assets
