Charitable Giving Fund

A Charitable Giving Fund (CGF), commonly reffered to as a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), is a simple and flexible option for you and your family’s charitable giving without the hassle and costs involved with private foundations. Think of a CGF as having a savings account that allows you to meet the needs of your church or facvorite ministry immediately or over time. After the CGF is established, you may make recommendations for distributions to your selceted church or ministry(ies).

How it works:

Advantages:

  • Give appreciated capital assets avoid capital gains taxes
  • Immediate income tax deductions with each gift
  • Flexible giving timelines and simple setup
  • Use a variety of assets including cash and appreciated securities to give
