Donor-Advised-Fund Tool Sends Gifts Directly to Charities - Online Fundraising - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: Donor-Advised-Fund Tool Sends Gifts Directly to Charities
By Holly Hall
Charities can now make it easier for donors to make gifts from donor-advised funds by using a simple application on the nonprofits’ Web site.
Donor-advised funds allow people to establish a charitable account, get an immediate tax deduction, and help decide later which charities receive grants. Until now, donors have had to go through the fund to make a gift, and none of the funds have allowed charities to communicate directly with their account holders.
But using this application, or “widget,” donors can give directly to the charity.
