Donor-Advised Fund: Make a Positive and Immediate Impact
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving vehicle administered by another entity and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of an organization, family, or individual.
A donor-advised fund requires the donor to set aside a certain sum of money that may be invested in stocks, and later, if the stocks appreciate in value, they can donate those stocks without worrying about capital gains taxes.
The good thing about donor-advised funds is that, when they increase in value, the donor gets to claim a tax deduction that is larger than their cost basis.
THE BAD THING about donor-advised funds, is that when the portfolio is down, the donor will claim a smaller deduction than their cost basis. AND DONOR-ADVISED FUNDS CHARGE FEES TO DONORS! You pay for someone else to control your portfolio, and you lose control of donating only the winning stocks.
That’s why Recess Cleveland uses Stock Donor instead of donor-advised funds. With Stock Donor, you don’t need to donate until you have a gain! Your portfolio remains solely under your control! Therefore you can always donate and receive a deduction that is larger than your cost basis! Also, donors NEVER have to pay Stock Donator a fee for using our service. 100% of the FMV of the tax donation will belong to the Donors!

Our organization encourages you to donate stock rather than cash. Stock donations are up to 37% more tax-efficient, helping you avoid capital gains tax on any appreciated stock. Stock donations are fully deductible if you have owned the stock for more than one year. Please consider donating your appreciated stock to our organization to help us receive the full value of your donation, and to save you on your taxes!
