Looking for a way to support causes and programs that matter to you, on a schedule that works for you? Donor Advised Funds are a great option to do just that. Licking County Foundation offers two types of these advised funds, a traditional Donor Advised Fund (commonly referred to as a DAF) and Community Charitable Funds (CCF). These funds provide flexibility and convenience for a donor’s charitable giving in their community. Donor Advised Funds can be endowed (which places restrictions on using the principal) or non-endowed. Both types become part of Licking County Foundation's investment program and will continue to grow. A Community Charitable Fund is a great way to manage annual giving; donors establish the fund with gifts they intend to grant out in a short period of time. The CCF is not included in the Foundation's investment program.

Either option allows donors to recommend grants from their funds, and Licking County Foundation takes care of the rest.
