Donor Advised Funds

You make a donation to your fund which is immediately available for awarding grants to local projects. Our team will work with you to understand your passion and aims, and will then put forward grant applications for your consideration on a regular basis. Flow-through funds are usually topped up annually, and a contribution to the Community Foundation applies.

A capital sum is invested into an endowment, and the income generated provides grant making funds throughout the year, minus a contribution to the Community Foundation’s time. Funds can be established as a one-off donation or built over a number of years. Endowments provide a fantastic long-term investment, allowing donors to continue giving for years to come.

In both instances, the Community Foundation is proud to work in partnership with our donors to provide an expert service to ensure that your giving goes to worthwhile causes in the areas you are passionate about. Our team enjoy working closely with our donors to achieve your philanthropic aims, and some of the benefits of our service include detailed due diligence checks of the groups we support, strong knowledge of needs across Jersey and the community groups within it, opportunities to visit the charities you support, quarterly grant applications from local projects for you to consider and end of grant reports from the projects you’ve supported, helping you understand the impact your funding has had.
