Donor Designated (non-advised) Fund

Presentation

A Donor Designated (Non-Advised) Fund enables the donor to deposit a pool of funds with The Foundation of the Diocese of Raleigh to benefit a specified number of Diocese of Raleigh ministries. The Fund may be established for a period of years or in perpetuity as long as the Fund is replenished.

Often a Donor Designated (Non-Advised) Fund is treated by the donor as a charitable checking account since the distribution of gifts are restricted to a named Diocese of Raleigh ministry identified at the execution of the Fund. Unlike a Donor Advised Fund, Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) may be used to fund a Donor Designated Fund.
