The Many Advantages of A Donor Advised Fund

The Coral Gables Community Foundation is at the center of charitable giving in Coral Gables. A Donor Advised Fund offers a simple and tax-efficient way to maximize the impact of your charitable giving.

It allows donors like you to create your very own charitable fund in which contributions are eligible for a tax deduction and grow tax-free, leveraging the value of your philanthropy. Charitable distributions are recommended by you at your own pace, providing the opportunity to develop a strategic approach that better supports your philanthropic vision, while we handle the back office, due diligence and administrative support.

You have the flexibility to recommend the specific organizations you’d like to benefit from grants awarded through your fund as needs and opportunities arise. Additionally, our team can also share new opportunities you may not be aware of.
