Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds make giving easy.

A Donor Advised Fund is an efficient and flexible charitable tool that allows you to support the charities of your choice at any time while enjoying immediate tax benefits. All that is required to set one up is an establishing gift of $2,000. Gifts can be made from your fund to qualified tax-exempt and religious organizations, locally and elsewhere. Whatever your philanthropic passions, JewishColumbus can help you design your own charitable giving plan. Set up a charitable fund with us and get the expert advise that enables you to support what you want, when you want, where you want.

Creating a Fund

Then, based on your recommendations, JewishColumbus invests the funds and may make grants in the name of your fund to charitable, cultural or educational organizations that you recommend.
