What is a Donor Advised Fund?
A DAF is like a charitable checking account. You make a tax-deductible deposit, we invest and grow your fund, and you recommend grants to charities on your schedule. It's the simplest way to organize, grow, and track your giving — all in one place.
- Immediate tax receipt on every deposit
- Support any registered Canadian charity
- Invest your fund for long-term growth
- Grant anonymously or in your name
- No minimum deposit, no hidden fees
For several years, our clients as well as myself, have had the good fortune to work with the Jewish Community Foundation of Montreal for our philanthropic needs. Whether it's the ease of accessing your account and making donation requests or when it comes time to discussing advanced planned giving, the JCF is your partner of choice.
