The Donor Advised Fund (DAF) and Charitable Giving.
(DAFs) are charitable giving accounts that offer a simple, flexible way for individuals or families to actively engage in philanthropic giving. By teaming up with the Los Altos Mountain View Community Foundation, you gain a trusted partner in managing your charitable giving and can make a local impact.
Tax-smart Investing that Benefits Local Nonprofits.
You simply set up an account with LAMVCF and contribute cash, securities, or appreciated assets. You’ll be eligible for a current-year tax deduction with the flexibility to donate over time tax free.
When the contributions in your DAF are invested and grow, you avoid taxes on any gains and end up with even more to donate.
