BCPT offers our donor advised fund as a simple, cost-effective approach to personalize your charitable giving goals.

DONOR ADVISED FUNDS

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is the simplest and most accessible way to organize your giving. It allows you to set up a charitable fund, receive immediate tax benefits from your donations, and recommend grants to charities on your own timeline. With a DAF, you can engage family and friends in your giving, all while avoiding the administrative hassle of managing individual donations and compliance requirements.
