Donor-advised funds make giving easy, flexible, and meaningful.
A donor-advised fund is an efficient and flexible charitable tool that allows you to support the charities of your choice at any time while enjoying immediate tax benefits.
All that is required to set one up is an establishing gift of $2,500. Gifts can be made from your fund to qualified tax-exempt and religious organizations, locally and elsewhere.
