GuideStream Charitable Gift Fund is a public charity offering a donor advised fund, created to encourage and assist donors in giving to charitable organizations. Like you, many people want to support a number of different charitable organizations. However, giving is often complicated by the number of diverse issues you must face:
- Are the charities you support equipped to process the type of appreciated asset you want to donate?
- How can you split your gift of one appreciated asset to several charities?
- Can you receive a tax deduction now while determining the disposition of your gift later?
- How can I encourage my children to give after I am gone?
- How can I easily create a memorial fund for a loved one to support ongoing ministry?
GuideStream Charitable Gift Fund can simplify these issues, and more, for you.
