How you benefit
- Your fund can simplify and streamline your charitable giving to Berkeley by serving as the primary source for your gifts to Berkeley.
- If you fund the DDF with appreciated assets held long-term, you get an immediate income tax charitable deduction based on the full fair market value of the assets and avoid capital gains tax.
- Optimize your tax benefits by making gifts to your fund at any time without having to make distributions until later.
- The fund assets grow tax-free, are professionally managed, and are invested in institutional-quality no-load mutual funds.
- We administer the fund, make the distributions in the fund’s name, and provide you with all necessary information for tax reporting.
- You can add to the fund at anytime.
