Donor Advised Funds
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic vehicle that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. A fund allows donors to remain actively involved in distributions from the fund during their lives and, if desired, the life of a successor generation of advisors. Our DAF holders are part of the LCCF family and we support them in maximizing the impact of their gifts!

Securities
The Foundation can accept gifts of appreciated securities to both establish a fund or to make a donation. These gifts often provide tax advantages. Their full fair market value is deductible as a charitable contribution up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income. The added benefit of giving appreciated securities is the avoidance of the capital gains tax on the appreciated portion of the gift. Gifts of closely held stock enjoy the same tax benefits as with publicly traded stock.
Contact Wendy, Director of Donor Services & Operations, at 847-377-0520 x23, wendy@lakecountycf.org to learn more or to open your fund today! Please notify Wendy when gifts of stock are initiated.
