Donor Advised Funds

Donor Advised Funds are one of the most efficient charitable estate planning tools available to anyone looking to create a legacy of charitable giving than can last for many generations.

A perfect example right here in the Archdiocese of New York is The Catholic Communal Fund, a powerful tool that allows you to create a charitable fund in your name, your family's name, or that of a loved one. You can then make recommendations on how your gift will be invested and how it is to be distributed over time to organizations including Catholic Charities. In essence, it functions much like a private family foundation with none of the associated costs, bureaucracy, tax regulations and paperwork. The Catholic Communal Fund and other Donor Advised Funds enable you to realize the optimum tax benefits and achieve greater impact with your charitable dollars.
