Donor Advised Funds
A Liberty Hill Donor Advised Fund lets you create an easy-to-establish, low cost, flexible vehicle for charitable giving as an alternative to direct giving or creating a private foundation. Donor Advised Funds may be opened with a minimum contribution of $10,000.
What is a Donor Advised Fund?
A donor advised fund is an account set up by an individual or business to handle charitable giving to organizations or specific areas of interest, while also benefiting from Liberty Hill’s grantmaking and administrative expertise.
