A Donor-Advised Fund allows you to recommend grants to qualified charitable organizations of your choice. Donors receive tax advantages associated with gifts to public charities and the convenience of a professionally managed charitable fund with no administrative charges.
With a donor-advised fund, you focus on your charitable giving. JCL writes and mails the checks to grant recipients, keeps track of contributions, and prepares detailed reports. At tax time, the only thing you need to produce is a receipt of the contributions you made to the fund during the previous year.
