Open a Donor Advised Fund at The Nevada Jewish Community Foundation
How Will You Change the World?
Create a Legacy of Giving with a Donor Advised Fund
Smart. Meaningful. Impactful.
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple and flexible way to support the causes you care about-on your timeline. With the Nevada Jewish Community Foundation, a division of Jewish Nevada, your philanthropy stays meaningful, efficient, and deeply connected to our Jewish values.
Think of a DAF as a checking account for charitable giving that grows tax-free and is used to support 501(c)(3) charities.
Why Open A DAF?
Immediate Tax Benefits Make a donation now and recommend grants at your convenience. You may be eligible for tax benefits (please consult your tax professional). Invested dollars grow tax-free. You get a single tax receipt at the end of the year for all your charitable giving through the fund.
Strategic Giving Support the organizations that matter most to you, now and in the future, without the expense or hassle of creating a private foundation. Contributions can be made to the fund at any time. A range of property or assets may be used to create or add to a DAF.
Family Philanthropy Engage your children and grandchildren in charitable giving and create a lasting family legacy. There is no estate tax on contributed assets.
Hassle-Free Administration We handle the paperwork, compliance, accounting, and reporting so you can focus on making an impact. We provide you with quarterly reports on your fund's financial performance and activity and monthly reports with your balance.
How it works
Establish Your Fund Open a DAF with a gift of $1,000 or more.
Name Your Fund Personalize it with your family's name or a meaningtul title.
Recommend Grants Use our easy online form to recommend distributions from your DAF to any qualified public charity whose purposes are aligned with, or not contrary to, Jewish Nevada's mission. We process the recommendations and distribute the grants.
Grow Your Impact Contributions are invested and professionally managed for potential growth, increasing your ability to give. Any growth is tax-free.
Your Giving
With a DAF, you have the freedom to give when it's right for you.
Whether you want to support Jewish causes, education, social services, or global relief efforts, your fund helps you make a difference on your terms.
Competitive Fees
An Annual Management Fee of 0.75% for most DAFs is reinvested in the community.
Let's make philanthropy easy and rewarding.
The Jewish Nevada team is here to help you design a giving plan that reflects your values and goals.
