Donor Advised Funds

Simplifying Giving through the Topeka Community Foundation

A donor advised fund (DAF) works like a charitable savings account, offering flexibility to decide when and how much to grant to the Boys & Girls Club of Topeka and other charitable organizations. You can choose to recommend a one-time or recurring grant, making an immediate impact or setting aside funds for future charitable giving.


Simplify your giving by establishing a donor advised fund through the Topeka Community Foundation. With this type of fund, you may qualify for immediate tax deductions while maintaining the ability to direct grants to Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka or any other charitable organization at your convenience.


Additionally, you can ensure a lasting legacy by naming Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka as a beneficiary of your fund, either in full or as a percentage. Naming loved ones as successors to the fund allows your family to continue supporting the causes that matter most to you. Contact your fund administrator for more details on naming a beneficiary.


How It Works

John and Lisa wanted to give back to their community in a meaningful way. They established a $25,000 donor advised fund through the Topeka Community Foundation. With this setup, they received an immediate tax deduction for their contribution while gaining the flexibility to decide where and when to allocate grants.


After consulting with the foundation’s staff about local needs, John and Lisa directed grants to Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka and a local food bank. The Topeka Community Foundation issued checks to both charities, fulfilling the couple’s wishes. They named Boys & Girls Clubs of Topeka as the beneficiary to receive the remaining balance of their fund after their lifetimes, creating a lasting legacy of giving for their family.
