Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) offers a streamlined approach for individuals keen on philanthropy to manage their charitable contributions while optimizing tax benefits. Through a DAF, donors make a lasting contribution to a sponsoring charity, like a community foundation, establishing a fund that they can later utilize to recommend grants to various charitable organizations. It’s a convenient and tax-efficient way to support causes close to their hearts.
For anyone participating in Donor Advised Funds, you can recommend a grant or recurring grants to Camp Nebagamon to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.
You can also create a lasting legacy by naming Camp Nebagamon the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
