Make a gift with a donor-advised fund

Donor-advised funds (DAF) are a great way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:

  • Make an outright gift by suggesting a grant to the Franklin County CDC.
  • Designate the Franklin County CDC to receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.

You can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals to support the Franklin County CDC. Just contact your fund administrator to request a distribution or beneficiary form or download the appropriate form(s) from your administrator’s website.

If you include Franklin County CDC in your plans, please let us know and use our legal name and federal tax ID.
