“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.
“Setting up a Field of Interest project fund with the Community Foundation has enabled me to take immediate action to help address the long-term needs of our Island’s natural habitats without having to go through the time consuming process of becoming our separate 501(c)3 charity.” Bob Williams
