Donor Insights on Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund is a powerful tool for emerging philanthropists to leverage tax benefits today and build a foundation for future grantmaking. Many community trusts offer DAFs, but I chose to establish mine with The Foundation because a portion of its fees are reinvested back into the community. These grants are thoroughly researched and communicate Jewish Angelenos’commitment to anyone and everyone in need.

Having tzedakah already set aside in our Donor Advised Fund was a blessing when the pandemic hit. We had a source of funds readily available to help others in pain. It was so empowering.

The Foundation is an ideal place to establish a charitable fund because it offers a turnkey solution. All of the due diligence is done for you, plus The Foundation provides wonderful support to help you target those organizations that best fulfill your giving goals.
