Santa Fe Financial Alliance
Now your client can create a Donor Advised Endowment Fund with the Santa Fe Community Foundation and retain the services of you, their personal trusted Investment Manager. The Santa Fe Community Foundation has developed a vehicle that allows the donor to create their own self-directed Endowment Fund while continuing to rely on your financial expertise.
Creating a Donor Advised Endowment Fund is similar to the establishment of a family foundation, but with significant tax advantages. The Foundation assumes the administrative tasks such as issuing checks, accounting functions, and providing philanthropic consulting. Your client simply designates you as their professional investment manager, and the Community Foundation will work out the details. The donor will receive an immediate tax benefit when the gift is made in addition to being able to recommend how the funds will be dispersed in the ensuing years.
You maintain your existing relationship with your client while they enjoy the benefits of creating a Donor Advised Endowment Fund of at least $250,000.
