DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account established with a charitable sponsor (Oregon Community Foundation, Fidelity Charitable, etc.), which manages and administers individual DAF accounts. A DAF is set up for the sole purpose of supporting charities.
DAFs have become the most popular tax-efficient way to conduct charitable giving in the United States. They are an excellent way to simplify your giving, maximize your impact, and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.
GIFTS OF STOCK
Many donors make gifts using appreciated stocks and mutual funds because of the tax advantages. We encourage you to consult your financial planner or tax advisor who can assist you in evaluating the tax advantages available to you when making a donation of appreciated securities.
Give From Your Investment Portfolio
