A Flexible and Efficient Way to Organize Your Giving
A donor advised fund, also called a DAF, is a simple tool to streamline your charitable giving.
A DAF provides you with the flexibility to donate many types of assets into your fund. You can then recommend grants from the fund to several different causes and organizations you care about. Start a donor advised fund with TCF with a minimum gift of $5,000.
You focus on giving — we handle all the accounting, legal and investment services.
Donor designated funds provide funds to designated charitable organizations or specific causes as the perpetual recipients of the income and/or principal of the fund.
Minimum to Start: $5,000
Field of interest funds permit the donor to designate grants to a cause that has a personal meaning. This may include support for a charitable cause, such as the elderly, health care, early childhood education, the arts, or a specific geographic area. TCF will find effective nonprofits and ensure that annual grants align with your intent.
Minimum to Start: $5,000
The donor designates funds for scholarship and chooses the scholarship selection criteria and eligibility. TCF creates and manages the application and award process. Each fund maintains individual requirements, ranging from academic performance and financial need to high school attended, major selected, and hometown.
Minimum to Start: $5,000
Created by philanthropists who want to support the community beyond their lifetimes, these funds allow TCF to address community needs as they emerge. Grants from discretionary funds are awarded on competitive basis through applications from local nonprofit agencies.
Minimum to Start: $5,000
Donors seeking to reduce administrative overhead, avoid excise taxes, and do away with the required distributions may transfer their private foundation to TCF by creating a donor advised fund. With fewer dollars spent on administration and more time, family or corporate members can concentrate on charitable work and maximize the charitable impact of their assets.
Minimum to Start: $5,000
