How to Open a Donor-Advised Fund
What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund is a philanthropic account that allows individuals to make charitable contributions from your computer, receive immediate tax benefits, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
Steps to Take:
- Navigate to fidelitycharitable.org/open-account.html.
- Click “Open Now”.
- Complete all account holder information and click Next.
- Complete account information and click Next.
- Confirm and Submit.
Benefits:
- No minimum contribution to open an account.
- Depending on the sponsoring organization, contributed assets may be allocated among available investment options. These investments have the ability to grow tax-free in the account, making each donation more meaningful.
- Eligible contributions are tax deductible the year they are made (Some taxpayers may find that charitable giving strategies increase itemized deductions. Tax results depend on individual circumstances).
- Contributions of certain appreciated long-term assets may allow donors to avoid recognizing capital gains that otherwise could have been incurred upon sale. Subject to IRS rules and limitations, eligible donors may also qualify for a charitable deduction based on the value of the contributed asset.
- Once the account is funded, contributions can be made at any time, and for any amount.
- All donations from your Donor-Advised Fund can be automated.
