Donor Advised Fund

Gift Diagram

How it works

#1You make a deductible gift of $25,000 or more in cash, securities or property to RIT, and we establish a donor advised fund in your name and under our management.

#2You recommend distributions from your donor advised fund for RIT programs and also to support other charitable organizations. After our review and approval, we make the gifts in your name.

#3At least 5% of the fund must be distributed annually, and at least 30% of the distributions must support RIT programs of your choice.

#4RIT provides all ongoing record-keeping and tax preparation for your donor advised fund.

Benefits

  • You get the flexibility of one source for your charitable giving, without the costs and administrative obligations of a private foundation.
  • You enjoy more ongoing tax benefits with a donor advised fund than with a private foundation.
  • You pay no start-up costs or administrative expenses.
  • You receive verification for tax purposes of contributions you make to your donor advised fund, and regular summaries of the distributions your fund has made.
