Donor Advised Funds

Want to have an even greater impact with your giving? Donor advised funds are a powerful tool to help you create a better world.

MRG Foundation has more than 25 years of experience facilitating donor advised grants for progressive donors. We have handled over $5 million in grants in our donor advised giving program. Our donor advised funds program provides a way for you to simplify your giving by making a single donation to MRG that is then distributed to multiple non-profit organizations that you recommend over time.

There are many advantages to setting up a donor advised fund. With a donor advised fund, you can:

  • Simplify your financial planning by making a single large donation in a given year, then having the flexibility to make grant recommendations over time
  • Make a single stock transfer that will benefit multiple groups (including small groups that are not be set up to accept stock gifts)
  • Receive information about progressive organizations working on issues you're especially interested in
  • Remain anonymous to the recipient organization(s)
  • Receive immediate tax benefits
