TAX-EFFICIENT CHARITABLE GIVING 5 REASONS a Donor Advised Fund might be right for you! 1| Simplicity 2| Expertise 3| Tax Advantage 4| Flexibility 5| Confi dentiality Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) take less than 10 minutes to establish. Use the fund for all your chari- table giving and eliminate the need to save receipts. DAFs offer all the benefi ts of a private foundation without the bureaucracy – allowing you to focus on impactful philanthropy. The Jewish Community Foundation is the largest grantor in San Diego. Therefore, we are aware of the community needs and innovative philan- thropic strategies. You can access resources for everything from person- alized research to giving techniques. Gifts to a Donor Advised Fund are eligible for an immediate tax deduction allowable under state and federal law. The Foundation accepts a wide range of gifts, providing you with greater value and more giving opportunities. Grants from the DAF may be made according to the timetable that is best for you, to the causes and organizations you care about, in your name or anonymously. You can also use the fund as your charitable legacy, supporting your favorite causes in perpetuity. Unlike a private founda- tion, information about Donor Advised Funds is not publicly accessible. The Foundation maintains the highest standards of confi dentiality.
