Support Your Favorite Nonprofits with Ease

Have you considered a donor advised fund, or DAF, to streamline your charitable giving?

A DAF is both a flexible and efficient way to organize your charitable giving. This type of charitable account empowers you to give as often as you want to various nonprofits throughout the year. Explore the benefits of this flexible giving tool in this short video.

Give to Your Fullest Potential

Cash isn’t the only way to give to charitable causes.

You can contribute a wide range of non-cash assets such as stock, mutual funds and real estate to open your fund, or make a charitable gift through your will. Many of these options can provide you with income during your lifetime, significant tax benefits — or both.
