Giving Options

Description		Benefits
Donor advised funds are like charitable accounts that enable you to remain involved in grantmaking by recommending grants to your favorite charities. If you do not have a specific charity in mind, the Asian Pacific Fund can help you learn about needs in the community and the organizations working to meet the needs. These funds are ideal for donors who seek tax deductions in a specific year and want to remain involved in recommending grant recipients, but who want to avoid the expense and administrative burden of establishing a private foundation. The Asian Pacific Fund accepts gift recommendations to other public charities whether or not they serve Asians. Recommendations for charitable programs overseas are considered on a case-by-case basis, as are gifts to individuals. Donor advised funds may not be used to fulfill an existing personal pledge or obligation. For a donor advised fund grant recommendation form to submit via fax or e-mail, click here.
