Simple, impactful giving

Do more with a donor advised fund

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a convenient, versatile tool that many individuals and organizations use to effectively plan and manage charitable gifts.

Your DAF at GCF grants you access to our team of philanthropic experts with deep local knowledge and invites you into a network of people who care deeply about making a difference. With informative events, collective giving opportunities, and a full range of support, your fund becomes more than just a tool—it becomes a powerful way to shape and grow your impact.

The benefits of DAFs

You suggest grant recipients, determine a giving schedule and, if preferred, choose anonymity.
Gift stock, real estate or partnership interests in addition to cash.
Support your favorite nonprofits across the region or anywhere in the world.
Add to your fund’s balance anytime and receive a tax deduction at fair market value. Assets grow tax-free over time.
Choose to co-invest alongside GCF or other like-minded GCF fundholders to maximize impact and create a more vibrant community.
