Benefits of a Donor Advised Fund

Personalized Giving 

Your named fund is your tool for personalized giving. Support the causes and community you love by making grants to multiple projects and needs as they arise throughout the year, all through one convenient charitable account. You also have the opportunity to remain anonymous in your grantmaking.

Work With Our Staff 

Our experienced staff can help you make grants that have the most impact on the causes you care about. We have an in-depth knowledge of community needs and projects across our 20-county region. You can access Foundation staff and discuss your charitable intent and we can help you increase the effectiveness of your giving.

Family Engagement

Many donor advised fundholders involve family in grantmaking decisions. This generational giving model passes on your philosophy of generosity. Fundholders may also name successor advisors for their fund to continue the family legacy of giving.

Efficient Management 

The Community Foundation handles all the administrative tasks including professional management and financial oversight of your dollars to grow the charitable impact of your fund. You also have access to our donor portal, giving you 24-hour access to your fund to make grants, review grant history, and see your grantable balance.

Creating a fund that allows you to make a difference during your lifetime and can impact your community forever is simple. You can use cash, stock, or other assets to create your fund and qualify for tax benefits including the Endow Iowa 25% state tax credit. It takes $10,000 or more to establish your donor advised fund.
