A donor advised fund is a flexible way to manage your charitable giving and a cost-effective alternative to establishing a private foundation.
While The Julian Center does not directly manage Donor Advised Funds, there are a number of financial institutions and community trusts that can assist you in establishing your fund.

-
An immediate tax deduction
