Donor Advised Fund

This fund type offers many of the advantages of a family/private foundation but with greater tax benefit and fewer restrictions. It is a great way to give back to a community that has been good to you. You participate directly in the grantmaking process by recommending annual grants to causes you care about.

  • The initial gift size and minimum balance must be at least $10,000.

  • You can use stock, cash, or other assets to establish the Fund.

  • The minimum distribution request must be $200.

  • You decide how much risk you’d like to take with the investment profile for your Fund.

What are the benefits?

  • It’s tax-deductible giving - you decide where your funds will be best used.

  • The donor, or persons appointed by the donor, decide where the fund’s investments and/or distributions will be donated.

  • We can help you continue to support all the organizations you already love.

  • You can partner with the Foundation to help learn more about Eagan and help fulfill your local community’s most critical needs.

 Why start a donor-advised fund with the Eagan Community Foundation? The Foundation has been partnering with deserving organizations since 1991.  We know the community’s greatest needs making it easy for you to give back in areas you have passion for, while relieving you of the burden of vetting organizations on your own. You don’t need to be an expert on every organization; partner with us to maximize your impact within the community.
