CNCF’s primary giving tool is called the CNCF Donor Advised Fund, which is similar in many ways to private foundations except that it is much simpler to create and manage.

The CNCF Giving Fund allows you to make charitable contributions to your fund which will be receiptable for the year given. Monies may be distributed to registered charities right away or take as much time as you wish to consider your grants.

CNCF Donor Advised Giving Fund Process

  • Open your CNCF Giving Fund today by filling out an application form.
  • Give your Giving Fund a name.
  • Make an initial contribution when you are ready. CNCF will issue a donation receipt for your gift at year-end or sooner upon request if needed.
  • Give assets besides cash – CNCF will consider the acceptance and liquidation of many types of assets – from cash and stocks to real estate, business interests, and securities.
  • You may recommend grants from your fund to any number of charities of your choice at any time, as long as it’s at least $250. CNCF sends out the grant for you. Grants may even be sent anonymously if you like.
  • You, or others, may make additional contributions to your fund at any time and a donation receipt will be issued to the donor
  • Funds may be held in cash ready for granting. Longer-term funds may be added to a CNCF investment pool or separately managed by your own financial professional where suitable.
  • Give pass-through gifts of appreciated securities, which can provide tremendous extra benefits to both the donor and the charity.
