What does it mean to “advise”?

Tax laws for donor advised funds require that you relinquish ownership and control over contributed assets. However, as a donor advisor, you retain the privilege to advise iGiftFund on: how your fund is named, how the funds are invested, how the funds are granted, and how your fund will carry on after your death. “Advising,” in contrast to “directing,” is the key to your receiving superior tax benefits.

Why the net amount in my donor advised fund account is different from the amount of my charitable deduction?

This difference is typically due to interim market fluctuations and liquidation costs. Consult your tax advisor to determine your charitable tax deduction.

What tax benefits do I receive from a Donor Advised Fund?

Because of iGiftFund’s public charity status, your contributions qualify for the highest tax benefits available:

  • You receive an immediate and maximum income tax deduction.
  • You avoid capital gains tax.
  • Your fund is not subject to estate taxes.
  • Assets in your fund can grow tax free.
  • If you are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), your contribution may reduce your AMT tax liability.
  • Under the “CARES Act” of 2020, donors can receive increased tax benefits for cash contributions up to 100% of AGI for contributions to funds sponsored by iGiftFund other than a donor advised fund.  This deduction can be enhanced by a Roth IRA conversion.
