“When I took a year off from full-time work and was without a regular income stream. My Donor Advised Fund meant I didn’t have to stop or slow down my charitable giving and my philanthropic footprint was still visible on the streets of Nantucket! I could still support the community I call home.” Janet Schulte
Janet donated stock, which had appreciated significantly, to the Community Foundation to create a Donor Advised Fund. She avoided any capital gains on the appreciated value, which left the entire asset available for charitable gifts.
We chose to make a recurring monthly donation to the Nantucket Fund because it makes being charitable on Nantucket easy. Regular small donations allow us to make a big difference on the island we call home.” Lisa Botticelli and Ray Pohl

“We established the Taunton Hill Fund with the Community Foundation as a way to support the Nonprofit community on-Island as well as provide invaluable educational opportunities for these community leaders. In the past two years, Margaretta and her team have expertly produced two full-day Nonprofit Leadership Conferences, which emphasized skill-building, collaboration, networking, and leadership. It has been most rewarding to work with the Foundation to see our vision come to life.” Joe and Deidre Smialowski
“We chose to invest in the Community Foundation’s Nantucket Fund as a way to support the island our family loves. We know that through a multi-year gift we are able to help the most critical needs on Nantucket today and in the future.”
