Why a Donor Advised Fund?
More than a transaction, a Donor Advised Fund becomes a pathway to ongoing impactful philanthropy. You gain the flexibility to support multiple causes over time, and by working with the Community Foundation, you also gain a trusted philanthropic partner.

How a Donor Advised Fund Works

A Donor Advised Fund streamlines charitable giving so you can maximize your impact. Like a checking account, you contribute when it makes the most sense for you—and get a charitable deduction at that time. Then, make grants to your favorite nonprofits when you are ready.

Step 01: Give

Establish your donor-advised fund with a tax-deductible gift.
Community Foundation Tampa Bay accepts cash, stocks, privately held business interests, cryptocurrency, real estate, and other assets. Learn more about the types of assets you can give. Once your fund is established, you can contribute additional assets at any time, giving you the flexibility to adapt your charitable giving as your goals evolve.The minimum contribution to establish a Donor Advised Fund at Community Foundation Tampa Bay is approximately $10,000 and can be made with cash or another asset of comparable value.

Step 02: Grow

Increase your charitable impact. 
While you decide which charities to support, the balance of your fund has the potential to grow tax-free, resulting in more dollars available for charitable giving. Choose from several professionally managed investment pools, or you can arrange for your financial advisor to continue managing the assets in your donor-advised fund.

Step 03: Grant

Support the charities you love. 
Recommend grants from your fund to your favorite local, national, or global nonprofits, now or over time. Grants can range from $100 to $1 million or more, with no annual minimum distribution requirement. Each time you give to a nonprofit, you may choose to remain anonymous or publicly list the fund name. Use our online Giving Portal to recommend grants, make additional contributions, research giving opportunities, view your giving history, and track receipts in one convenient place.

FAQs

Are there any restrictions on the nonprofits I can support with my Donor Advised Fund?

While you have the flexibility to recommend grants to many different types of charitable organizations, all grants must go to 501(c)(3) nonprofits in good standing with the IRS. Even though the Community Foundation is based in Tampa Bay, many donors are surprised to learn they’re not limited to local organizations—your Donor Advised Fund can support any eligible 501(c)(3), nationwide.

How do I claim tax benefits for my donations?

When you contribute to your Donor Advised Fund, you receive an immediate tax deduction for the value of the donation, which can be claimed in the year the contribution is made. You’ll receive a receipt for each donation, simplifying the process and helping you track your charitable giving for tax purposes.

How do I grow my Donor Advised Fund?

Your Donor Advised Fund can grow over time through a variety of investment options. Add to the fund at any time with a direct donation or complex asset. Once you make a contribution, you can choose to invest the funds in one of our professionally managed investment pools. These investment pools are designed to help grow the value of your fund, tax-free, over time.
