Charitable Giving Through a Donor Advised Fund Provides Twice the Impact

A gift that gives twice?  It almost sounds too good to be true, but it is very possible.

 

A Donor Advised Fund at The Catholic Foundation provides the optimal flexibility for charitable giving. Giving through The Catholic Foundation not only benefits your favorite charities, our modest fees and investment income earned from all funds goes into the Foundation's discretionary Philanthropy Fund which awards more than $1 million in grants annually to local schools, parishes and organizations impacting the Catholic community in Dallas.

 

Impactful giving is just one benefit of charitable giving through a Donor Advised Fund at The Catholic Foundation.  


Additional benefits of a Donor Advised Fund at The Catholic Foundation include:
  • support for your favorite charitable organizations, both Catholic and non-Catholic, in our community and beyond
  • making charitable gifts of stock and avoiding capital gains tax convenient
  • significant tax advantages and considerable less complexity because it exists in the context of a community foundation
  • the ability to manage additions to and make grant recommendations online at any time through the Foundation's DonorLink feature on the Foundation website
  • reduced administrative tasks and less complexity 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 ,  Michael George  or Mike Murray in our office for guidance on establishing this type of charitable fund.
