Donor Advised Funds
A simple way to turn your charitable account into groceries
A donor advised fund lets you give to the causes you care about on your own timeline. When you recommend a grant to the Food Bank of Central Louisiana, you are helping stock 124 partner agencies, 27 monthly mobile pantries, and programs that reach children, seniors, and families across eleven Central Louisiana parishes. Read below to learn how to recommend a grant today, and how to name the Food Bank in your fund for the years ahead. If a donor advised fund is not how you give, you can still help by giving online, donating food, or volunteering.
Your generosity can help ensure that our neighbors have access to the food they need—today and for years to come.
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that offers you flexibility in supporting the causes you care about most. You can recommend how much and how often funds are granted to The Food Bank of Central Louisiana and other qualified charitable organizations.
Whether you choose to make a one-time gift or establish recurring grants, your DAF can make an immediate difference in the lives of individuals and families facing hunger throughout Central Louisiana. You can also use your fund as a tool for planning future charitable gifts.
Create a Lasting Legacy
Your DAF can be more than a way to give today. It can become part of your family’s legacy of generosity.
You can name The Food Bank of Central Louisiana as a beneficiary of all or a percentage of your DAF. If you designate a percentage of your fund, you can also name loved ones as successor advisors, giving them the opportunity to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations that are meaningful to your family.
Together, you can make giving a family tradition and help build a hunger-free future for Central Louisiana.
If you have questions about making a gift through your DAF, please contact the Food Bank of Central Louisiana at 318-445-2773.
