A donor advised fund at Stanford may help you realize your philanthropic goals. A Stanford donor advised fund combines the flexibility of a private foundation with the tax advantages of a public charity. This kind of fund allows you to have your gift invested with a quality investment management team while you consider the purposes that you would like the fund to support.
To learn more about establishing a donor advised fund at Stanford, please contact us. We would be happy to provide you with information about how a donor advised fund would work for you based on your circumstances.
Those considering a planned gift should consult their own legal and tax advisors. The staff in the Office of Planned Giving are happy to speak with advisors as well.
