About
Donor Advised Funds: The Community Foundation offers donor advised funds (DAFs) to donors in the region. A DAF is a type of charitable giving fund that is established by a donor to support a cause or causes that the donor cares about. DAFs allow donors to remain involved in active charitable giving by retaining 'advisory privileges' to recommend how the Community Foundation should make grants from that fund. For the year ending June 30, 2019, the Community Foundation held 160 separate donor advised funds that awarded $4,344,429 in total grants.
