Donor-Advised Funds

A gift from your Donor-Advised Fund will make a difference for Chicago’s lonely elders!

You can support the lonely and isolated elders we serve with a gift directly from your Donor–Advised Fund. Your generosity will support elders without family or close friends, and it will lead to tax benefits for you, as well. We will put your generous contribution to work immediately to help the seniors we serve.

What is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A Donor–Advised Fund is a charitable account you can use to dedicate funds to your favorite nonprofits that also provides immediate tax benefits. If you are interested in establishing a Donor–Advised Find, contact your local community foundation or your charitable advisor.
 

Benefits include:

  • Contributions are tax-deductible.
  • Any investment growth in the Donor–Advised Fund is tax-free.
  • No transaction fees mean 100% of your gift will be put to work helping Chicago’s seniors.
  • You’ll be making a positive impact on Chicago’s seniors this year and for years to come.

Universal Charitable Donation (UCD)

There is a new Universal Charitable Deduction (UCD).

Taxpayers taking the standard deduction can now deduct up to $1,000 in charitable contributions—or $2,000 for joint filers. Click here to learn more.

Your support gives our older friends something to look forward to, an opportunity to get out of their homes, engage with others in the community, and most importantly – create meaningful connections.
