Powerful Giving, Now and Forever

Donor Advised Funds
An active approach to giving

 

For donors seeking an active role in grant-making, you can establish a donor advised fund or add to an existing fund.  You can recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations anywhere in the United States. Donor advised funds operate much like private foundations but without the administrative burdens or paperwork.  

Learn more about donor advised funds:

•    Establish a donor advised fund with a $10,000 tax-deductible contribution
•    Involve your family in philanthropy
•    Recommend grants at your convenience
•    Maximize grant impact by working with CCF staff

Donor advisors may view your quarterly fund statements and make grant recommendations through our secure, password-protected Donor Advisor Portal.

Contact Ann Merriam Feinberg, Director of Outreach and Development, for more information about donor advised funds.

The Impact of Donor Advised Funds

In 2008, 43% of all grants distributed from CCF were from donor advised funds to organizations working in the arts, education, environment, health and social services.  

Working in partnership with CCF leadership efforts, you can support an effective response to our community’s needs.
