A Donor Advised Fund with the Community Foundation is one way to streamline your charitable giving to support the charities that you care about during your lifetime.
Your gift can be invested and grow tax free. We do all the paperwork for grant distributions to charities as you recommend. You can name the fund or remain anonymous. You can also work with us to leave a lasting legacy for you and your family.
You can simply include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, as part of your estate plan.
Bequest gifts help to create permanent funds that can meet community needs and opportunities for generations to come.
We also have expertise in receiving gifts of complex assets, and we can assist you and your professional advisors to leverage these resources for community benefit in a tax advantaged manner.
No matter your goals, we are available to help you and your professional advisor.
