Donor Advised Funds

The Catholic Foundation offers Donor Advised Fundsto interested donors.  A Donor Advised Fund is a charitable vehicle that allows you to recommend annual distributions to Catholic organizations of your choice.  You receive an immediate charitable deduction when you open your Donor Advised Fund, and when you make any additional contributions to the fund.

A Donor Advised Fund allows you to think about where you want to give support without the pressure of government or self-imposed guidelines for deductions or charitable distributions.  You can recommend how your fund is invested from the Catholic Foundation’s various investment options to optimize the dollars you have available to give to charity.
