Donor Advised Funds

Your contribution allows us introduce new generations to the Listening Point where they can experience what Sigurd was so passionate about firsthand.

You can recommend your donor-advised fund to make a gift on your behalf – even during a multi-year time frame – provided the commitment comes from the fund itself.

You can also establish a memorial fund in honor of someone through a donor-advised fund. It could be a new fund altogether, or granting in memorium out of an existing fund.

Contact your gift advisor to start the giving process. The information you’ll need is below.

How It Works

A donor-advised fund is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. 

When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity or nonprofit, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity.

You want your charitable donations to be as effective as possible when you give. Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.
