Donor Advised Funds

Greater Tacoma Community Foundation supports individual giving through its Donor Advised Funds (DAFs). These funds enable to you to commit money for charitable purpose, and then make grant recommendations at the pace of your philanthropic vision.

As a community foundation, GTCF honors donor intent and makes every effort possible to fulfill Fund Advisor recommendations. GTCF’s Philanthropy team also provides strategic advising to help Fund Advisors translate their intention into action.

DAFS are typically simple to set up. 

• GTCF Universal Fund Agreement

GTCF can also help you transfer funds from other DAF administrators. 

• Donor Advised Transfer Instructions

DAFs offer many of the benefits of a private or family foundation, but with fewer administrative demands.
