Donor-advised funds are the fastest growing charitable vehicle in America. They offer terrific tax benefits and let generous people manage their giving as though they had a private foundation – but without needing to be a millionaire to get started.

There are more than a thousand banks, community foundations, and public charities serving as donor-advised fund providers.

However, not all of these providers share your values and goals. Find one that thinks like you do. 

DonorsTrust is the community foundation for liberty and works with donors that hold that same commitment.

 HOW DOES IT WORK?

Think of a donor-advised fund as your own charitable savings account.

Open your fund with a simple application, make an initial contribution of $10,000 or more (or just $1,000 for givers under age 40) and immediately take your tax deduction, then request grants on your schedule, without the rush.

WHO USES DONORSTRUST

Our clients come from all across the nation. Some give away a few thousand every year. Some give much more.

And all DonorsTrust clients share a desire to use private philanthropy to improve people’s lives, not government largesse.
