TYPES OF FUNDS Donors choose how to build their philanthropic legacies. Donors to the Community Foundation of Collier County can choose how involved they want to be in determining the beneficiaries of their gifts. They can specify exactly where they want to direct their support or they can leave allocation decision up to the Foundation's Board of Trustees and staff. As flexible as the process is, all donors have the assurance that their investments will always be a part of the Foundation's assets and will always benefit projects and organizations in Collier County and throughout the United States. DONOR ADVISED FUNDS Donor Advised funds, which are the most flexible charitable-giving tool, allow a donor to provide advice to the Community Foundation on the grants to charities. Although the recommendations are not binding, the Foundation Board of Trustees takes them under advisement in making grants. This type of fund is especially helpful for donors who, for tax estate-planning reasons, want to take a tax deduction one year and spread contributions over future years. “ For it is in giving that we receive.”­ — St. Francis of Assisi Agua Fund Lew & Dawn Allyn Family Fund Joshua J.
