Our Philanthropy Team is ready to meet with you (and your advisors) to create a custom plan that maximizes return for the causes you love.
Your Gulf Coast Philanthropic Advisor will partner with you to determine the charitable fund that best aligns with your goals. For many active donors, this is a donor advised fund. Others may benefit from options that leverage a Charitable IRA Rollover, provide income to you or your loved ones, or are designed to create a lasting legacy. Together, we will help clarify the best path for you and your family. Explore our fund types above to see what may be a fit, and know that our Philanthropic Advisors are always available to answer questions along the way.
You can fund your charitable giving using a variety of assets. If you are gifting appreciated stock, we often recommend a direct transfer to help mitigate capital gains tax. Your Philanthropic Advisor can provide transfer instructions for gifts of stock, checks, credit cards, or more complex assets. We will also work with you to identify an appropriate investment strategy for your fund, using either Gulf Coast’s investment pools or your own investment advisor.
Gulf Coast’s Gift Acceptance policy is available upon request. Please email philanthropyteam@gulfcoastcf.org for more information.
This can be done in a matter of minutes, and you can name your fund to best reflect your charitable interests or to honor or memorialize the people, values, or causes that matter most to you.
Once your assets are transferred, your fund is established.
You will have access to Gulf Coast’s dedicated, secure DonorView portal where you can view your fund balance, track grants, and access important fund information at any time.
Recommend your first of many grants and see your generosity come to life. Gulf Coast handles the administration so you can focus on what matters most: creating meaningful impact in the community.
