In an era of social media and intense polarization of rhetoric, it’s no wonder so many charitable individuals and families choose to give to their favorite causes anonymously. And, bolstered by the United States Supreme Court’s decision last month in favor of donor privacy (affirming a position advocated by parties across the political spectrum), this trend is likely to continue. 

At CFAAC, we make it easy for you to give anonymously by establishing a Donor Advised Fund. For example:

• You can select a name for the fund that is something less obvious than your own name. For example, instead of the “Sam and Vera Barker Fund,” you can name the fund the “SVB Fund,” “Desert Family Legacy Fund,” or whatever you would like. 
• Sometimes you may wish to recommend that certain grants (but not all grants) from a fund be issued anonymously. CFAAC offers you the ability to opt into anonymity on a grant-by-grant basis. 
• You can rest assured that no solicitations will flow directly to you; CFAAC handles all correspondence related to nonprofit grants from the fund.

The Community Foundation does not disclose information about you or your fund to any third party, nor is detailed information available through a Form 990.
