Thank you for considering a gift from your Donor-Advised Fund to the Conventual Franciscan Friars of the Province of Our Lady of Consolation.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a private fund administered by a third party and created for the purpose of managing charitable donations on behalf of a you as well as joint fund accounts with several family members or friends.

Once you have a DAF, you request a grant distribution through your DAF sponsor to the friars. You receive tax advantages of up to 50% of your adjusted gross income.

A donor-advised fund offers ease of administration. Also, donor-advised funds held at sponsors such as Community Foundations are often able to offer this service to you with fewer transaction costs than if the funds were handled privately.

• Donor-advised funds are private funds set aside by you for philanthropy.
• Donor-advised funds offer tax advantages of up to 50% of adjusted gross income.

You can also designate the friars as a beneficiary for your donor advised fund.

Your loving gifts help us to form a community of fraternal love and equality by supporting and calling one another to on-going conversation in our vowed life.  Prayer and Contemplation strengthen us on our journey of faith.

Our ministries arise from the needs of God’s people in an ever-changing world.  As servants and heralds of the Kingdom, we strive to respond compassionately to those needs through a prayerful discernment of our gifts and resources as individuals and as community.
