There is no secret. The truth is, utilizing a Donor Advised Fund at The Catholic Foundation offers optimal flexibility for charitable giving. Often times financial advisors recommend Donor Advised funds over a private foundation.

  • significant tax advantages and considerably less complexity because it exists in the context of a community foundation.
  • reduced administrative tasks associated with charitable giving.
If giving through a Donor Advised Fund at The Catholic Foundation is something you are considering please contact  Cheryl Unis Mansour or Michael George in our office for guidance on establishing this type of charitable fund.
