More ways to give

With the right strategies in place, it is possible to make significant gifts while enhancing your own or your loved one’s financial security. Giving in this way may enable you to make gifts while conserving cash for other uses. Here are some options to discuss with your financial advisor:

  • Donor Advised Funds: A donor advised fund (“DAF”), as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, is an account over which a donor-advisor (“Donor”) has advisory privileges to recommend grants to IRS-qualified public charities (“charities” or “charity”) in good standing. A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably inclined individuals, families, and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock, and, in some cases, certain illiquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program. Sponsoring organizations include: Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, BNY Mellon Charitable.

  • Life insurance policies: Using life insurance for gifts to Fellowship Foundation can be a convenient way to make a tax-effective gift.
