DONOR ADVISED FUNDS

Donor Advised Funds (DAF) are the fastest-growing giving method to manage charitable donations. Donor Advised Funds allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend donations to non-profit organizations from their fund over time. Please note that per the Internal Revenue Code, you cannot receive goods, services, or impermissible benefits, like membership benefits, as a result of a DAF gift.

Please contact your financial advisor if you would like to recommend BKCM receive a donation or contact your DAF directly and reference our EIN: 11-1532426
