Getting Started
with the JCF
From cultural organizations to university scholarships, with a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) you are able to support your passions and the community’s needs at the same time.
By opening a DAF and investing in the JCF Pooled Fund, every dollar is responsibly invested and managed in a diversified portfolio, so your gift can grow over time.
Contributions to DAFs qualify for the maximum tax deduction permitted by law, and upon depositing funds into your account, you’ll promptly receive a tax receipt.
Plus, we’ll take care of all your administrative needs, keeping everything organized and accessible in our online Portal.
