START A DONOR ADVISED FUND
Give with Impact
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) with the Community Foundation of Dunn County offers a flexible, tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about, without the administrative burden of a private foundation. Whether you’re starting a new fund or transferring an existing commercial DAF, partnering with us means you’re not just making grants—you’re becoming part of a community of funders working together to create lasting change.
Mitch and Lynn Evenson are keeping their daughter’s memory alive by giving back to the community through their donor advised fund, the Ashley Evenson Memorial Fund.
WHY CHOOSE A DAF WITH US?
More Than a Fund—A Giving Community
When you open a DAF with us, you join a network of local funders who are making a real difference. You’ll have opportunities to:
- Attend Funders Roundtables – Connect with other donors, exchange ideas, and explore funding strategies.
- Join Grantee Site Visits – See firsthand how your philanthropy is driving impact in the community.
- Participate in Collaborative Grantmaking – Partner with other funders to support high-impact projects and emerging needs.
A Front-Row Seat to Local Impact
Unlike national DAF providers, we are deeply connected to Dunn County. Your fund provides exclusive access to:
- Our Grant Catalog – Discover local funding opportunities and invest in projects that align with your values.
- The Nonprofit Directory – Connect directly with nonprofit organizations making a difference in our region.
Non-Endowed Flexibility
Our non-endowed DAFs allow you to grant as much as you want, whenever you want—giving you the freedom to support causes as needs arise.
ALREADY HAVE A COMMERCIAL DAF? MAKE THE SWITCH!
If you have a Donor Advised Fund with a national provider like Fidelity or Schwab, transferring it to the Community Foundation of Dunn County means:
- Personalized support – A dedicated team to help you make the most of your philanthropy.
- Greater local impact – Your dollars stay in the community where they are needed most.
- Stronger connections – Be part of a network of donors who are actively engaged in shaping the future of Dunn County.
