What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Those funds can then be invested for tax-free growth and you can recommend grants to IRS-qualified public charities like Arts for LA.
