"Donor intent is a big problem. I think most people should view legacy giving as thorny. It certainly is for me. That is where DonorsTrust can be very helpful." — Bill Walton

Start Your Giving-Account Journey

With a donor-advised fund, you contribute to your donor-advised account, immediately generate a tax deduction, and then choose the timing of grants to charities you wish to support.

Requesting a distribution from the account is simple. The tedious administrative work of confirming a charity’s 501(c)(3) tax status, sending the contribution, and receiving any follow-up correspondence from the charity is all handled by the donor-advised-fund sponsor. Keep track of just one tax receipt—from the donor-advised-fund sponsor—instead of many.

Partner with an organization that shares your principles

With more than 1,000 donor-advised-fund providers—or "sponsoring organizations," as the IRS likes to say—in the United States, you should take time to find the one that best meets your needs and, potentially, aligns with your principles.

Give more than you otherwise would

Many people find a funny thing happens once they begin using a donor-advised fund to manage their giving: They begin to give more.
