Establishing a Donor Advised Fund

Be the change.

A Donor Advised Fund is a giving vehicle that many people use as an alternative to having their own private foundation. They have much lower administrative costs, they are easy to set up, and are a very flexible way to receive immediate tax benefits while also donating to causes you love for years to come.

When you establish a fund at Park City Community Foundation, you’re making an impact that’s multiplied right away—and that keeps on giving well into the future. With our unique emphasis on nonprofit support, we help you sustain organizations that are making a real difference. And our expertise in long-range investing and giving means you’ll get the maximum return on every dollar you donate. What’s more, because your fund can be designed to address whatever issues are most dear to your heart—whether local or global—we make sure your philanthropy is both personally meaningful and collectively impactful.
