Why Choose a Donor-Advised Fund with LCF?
Empower Your Giving
A single contribution to your LCF DAF unlocks endless possibilities. Support multiple nonprofits through just one account, without the hassle of managing separate transactions or tax documentation.
Expert Guidance, Meaningful Impact
We are experts in supporting Latino and Latina-led organizations across the country. Whether you’re new to philanthropy or fine-tuning your strategic giving, our team will collaborate with you to align your donations with your vision and values. Side by side, we will elevate the work of community leaders doing incredible things on the ground.
Maximize Your Tax Benefits
Setting up a DAF with LCF offers tremendous financial advantages. Take an immediate federal income tax deduction (as permitted by law) on contributions, and rest easy knowing you won’t face capital gains tax on appreciated securities. Plus, any growth within your fund is tax-free, allowing for an even greater impact over time.
Family-Focused, Future-Driven
Philanthropy can be a family legacy. By involving your loved ones in the decision-making process and naming successor advisors, you make certain that your values and impact will carry on for generations, without the complexities of managing a private foundation.
Community, Connection, Collaboration
Shared experiences and collective progress are also a part of giving. At LCF, we invite donor advisors to exclusive events where they can share ideas, leverage funding opportunities, and deeply connect with the work being done within the Latino community.
Transform Lives with LCF
When you open a donor-advised fund at LCF, you’re building equity, creating opportunities, and driving lasting change.
You can turn empowerment into action, hope into results, and funds into a flourishing future for Latino communities across the nation.
Every gift matters. Every decision counts. Let yours be ones that create a lasting legacy.
