Philanthropy unique to you
We know that you want to make the greatest impact possible with your philanthropic gifts. When you establish a donor advised fund at The Dallas Foundation, you can support the same causes you do today and you can explore new opportunities alongside our team of philanthropic advisors. Whether you wish us to work with your advisors, facilitate family meetings, or discuss complex gifts, we partner with you one-on-one to help create efficient and meaningful giving plans.
Donor advised funds offer a simple, expertly managed, charitable giving solution that allows you to centralize all of your philanthropic activity through one fund. Gifts of cash, appreciated securities, closely held stock, real estate and other tangible property, may be used to establish a fund, achieving the maximum tax deduction in the year(s) of your gift. Your gifts are invested, based on your preferences, so they may grow. Once ready, you can recommend grants from your fund to eligible nonprofits anywhere in the U.S.
Whatever your passions are, partnering with The Dallas Foundation powers your philanthropy, bridging you to the causes you care about, to the needs facing our community, and to the tax-advantaged vehicles which amplify your charitable investment.
