Donor Advised Funds

A Donor-Advised Fund can be thought of as a charitable giving account through which the donor (Primary Advisor or Joint Advisor) receives a charitable gift receipt for each irrevocable contribution placed into a DAF with no government-imposed deadline for recommending grants to charitable causes. Many individuals and families use DAFs to streamline their charitable giving, “bunch” several years’ to make a larger impact, or park their charitable funds until deciding which causes to support. Donor advisors can make grant requests by mail, email, or through our secure online portal where they can submit one-time or recurring grant recommendations.

Dono-Advised Funds are typically easier to manage than family foundations and may offer better tax advantages as well. Charitable causes receiving DAF grants through us must carry out missions that are aligned with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
