The power of Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund with Tiffin Community Foundation is a flexible, tax-smart giving vehicle that empowers donors to set aside charitable assets now and thoughtfully direct those resources over time. A donor makes a contribution to a fund administered by Tiffin Community Foundation. That contribution can take the form of cash, appreciated stock or other assets, and it provides the donor with an immediate tax deduction. The assets in the fund are then invested for tax-free growth, while the donor recommends grants to nonprofits they care about — often over months or years. It's a seamless process with minimal paperwork, designed to make generosity easier and more intentional. Donor Advised Funds allow individuals and families to turn financial capacity into lasting impact — on their own timeline, and in alignment with their deepest values. Donor Advised Funds represent a powerful alignment — donors with resources and readiness, and nonprofits with vision and need.
