Give the Gift of West Marin!
CHARITABLE giving Through Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a centralized vehicle for charitable giving that makes it easy for donors to dedicate funds to support their favorite nonprofit organization. It also provides an operationally convenient and tax-efficient method for donors to manage their charitable giving. 

With a DAF, charitably inclined individuals, families, and businesses make an irrevocable gift to a public charity, like the Environmental Action Committee of West Marin, that sponsors a donor-advised fund program. Donors may take an immediate tax deduction.

Donors can then recommend grants over time to IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charities. DAFs also allow donors to approach their charitable giving thoughtfully by involving other family members or colleagues in their philanthropic decisions. Most DAFs accept donations of long-term appreciated securities and other assets, and donors can advise how the funds are invested. This could create an opportunity for tax-free growth, and could result in more direct funding and support for EAC.

EAC accepts annual gifts, or you can list EAC as a beneficiary of your DAF, and leave a legacy for the long-term health of the organization. Contact your tax-advisor or fund for more info. Gifts can be be sent to:
