BEGIN A FAMILY TRADITION OF PHILANTHROPY

Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

Open a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). This Fund can be established in your name to support the charities you choose. At JCF, you can establish a DAF with as little as $10,000.  In addition, assets held for at least one year are fully tax-deductible when contributed to a DAF, and any funds held in the account grow tax-free.

Supporting Foundation

Establish a Supporting Foundation with JCF.  This may reduce administrative and tax burdens, allowing you to focus on making high-impact grants with family members.  A Supporting Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit corporation which receives its status as a public charity because of its affiliation with JCF of Greater MetroWest.  Supporting Foundations are governed and operated by their own board of trustees, a majority of whom are appointed by JCF, allowing multiple generations to make philanthropic decisions together.
