If you’re looking for ways to be more charitable or for simpler alternatives to establishing a private foundation, you may have come across donor-advised funds in your research.
Donor-advised funds are a tax effective, flexible way to increase your impact and help you respond to emerging needs. For example, more than $1 billion in grants have been made by donor-advised funds managed at community foundations since the start of COVID-19.
A donor-advised fund is a philanthropic giving vehicle administered by a charitable sponsor, such as a community foundation (like The San Diego Foundation) or commercial institution. Philanthropists establish donor-advised funds with a charitable sponsor, fund the account with an irrevocable, tax-deductible contribution and receive an immediate tax deduction.
