Our business donor-advised fund is a great alternative to a corporate foundation because you don’t have to worry about tax filings, investments, and other costly administration costs that go along with a separate foundation. In addition, The Denver Foundation will help you with strategies to achieve your company’s philanthropic goals, establish your company’s philanthropic goals, and give back to organizations that are important to you.
As a donor, you create a fund with a gift of cash, securities, or appreciated assets. Once your fund is established, you can make additional gifts at any time. You are eligible for tax benefits every year a gift is made. Because The Denver Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, your donation is eligible for the maximum charitable deduction.
GIFT OPTIONS
The Denver Foundation specializes in gifts of complex assets and will work with you and your professional advisor to ensure you receive maximum tax benefits for your gift.
The assets of your donor-advised fund will be invested for potential growth. You can select from multiple options for investment of the assets in your fund. You will receive quarterly fund statements detailing changes in assets.
After you make the contribution, The Denver Foundation has legal control of your assets and manages all administrative needs. However, you retain advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds via grant recommendations made to your choice of charitable organizations.
Donor-advised funds are incredibly versatile, allowing you to recommend grants to a wide variety of organizations. Grants can be made to any 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, to religious institutions, and to certain charitable institutions without an IRS 501(c)(3) designation. The Denver Foundation also works with donors on international grantmaking.
“Team-building events are great. But when you are giving back to the community and team building at the same time, it’s a double win.”
