Donor Advised Fund

Support Catholic Charities of West Tennessee by making a grant from your existing Donor Advised Fund.

Donor Advised Fund

What is a Donor Advised Fund and how do I donate through it?

A donor advised fund functions as a philanthropic savings account dedicated to supporting charitable causes of your choosing. By contributing cash, securities, or other assets to a donor advised fund, you typically qualify for an immediate tax deduction. These funds can then be invested to grow tax-free, allowing you the flexibility to suggest grants to a wide range of IRS-recognized public charities.
