Donor Advised Funds provide a streamlined, tax-efficient way to manage your charitable contributions. By consolidating your donations into one account, you gain the freedom to recommend grants to your favorite causes over time, while keeping your giving organized and impactful. DAFs can be expendable, invested, or endowed, depending on your needs and giving horizon. Our expert guidance helps you enact your philanthropic vision seamlessly.
- Donors contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to a DAF. The donor can recommend grants to charities at their discretion.
- At PCF, donors are encouraged to use the online Fund Holder Portal, but they can also submit recommendations by email or fax using the PCF Donor Recommendation Form.
- PCF staff reviews the recommendations using criteria established by our Board of Directors in accordance with IRS guidelines.
- Once a grant is approved, PCF sends a check to the approved charity. Every effort is made to process the grant recommendation within two weeks.
