How Donor Advised Funds Work
Donor Advised Funds are a way for individuals, families, trusts, estates, nonprofits, and organizations to maximize tax benefits while leaving behind a charitable financial legacy managed by the Penny Foundation. These gifts may be cash contributions, publicly traded stock, certain types of property, or a bequest. Creating, contributing to, and making grants from Donor Advised Funds are restricted by federal laws.
Relying on the Penny Foundation to manage your gift lessens and eliminates the administrative burden associated with such donations.
