Create a Fund

Open a Donor-Advised Fund

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are the fastest-growing philanthropic tool in the US. DAFs are a charitable giving vehicle designed both to simplify your donations and to offer a tax-advantaged approach for making contributions to IRS-qualified charities. Donations to the fund are tax deductible, and the fund’s balance is invested based on your recommendation, so it has the potential to grow tax free over time.

How does a DAF work?

At DJCF, we want to empower you to start your philanthropic journey in a way that best aligns with your vision.

Give

Write a check, transfer appreciated securities (stocks or bonds), or donate real estate, coins, jewelry, etc., and receive a tax deduction immediately.

Grow

Select from one of our six investment models. Contributions can grow into a more substantial gift for the future. All growth is tax free.

Grant

Support the causes you care about by recommending grants to any
IRS-qualified charity. DJCF sends out the checks, so no more check-writing, stamps, or envelopes.
