Maximum Tax Advantages

  • We invest your charitable dollars allowing you to give away more.

  • You receive a current income tax deduction and the gift to your fund removes assets from your estate thereby reducing future estate tax liabilities.

  • Your charitable fund acts as a buffer for on-the-spot solicitations.
