Donor Advised Funds

 
A Donor Advised Fund is a personalized fund that makes it easy for you to support the issues and organizations you care about in central Ohio or across the country. You can use cash, stock, or other assets to create a named fund, qualify for an immediate income tax deduction, and when it’s convenient for you, choose the charities you want to support. It takes $10,000 to open your Donor Advised Fund.

As central Ohio’s most comprehensive philanthropic resource, we are dedicated to increasing the effectiveness of your philanthropy, identifying the greatest needs of nonprofit organizations, and helping strengthen our community.
 

Consider a Donor Advised Fund if you:

  • Demand simplicity and ease.
  • Wish to give to multiple organizations and programs throughout the year

  • Are interested in learning more about the central Ohio community and its challenges.
