Donor Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund is a giving account you can open with the PCA Foundation, allowing you to make charitable grants over time. You can contribute not only cash, but also stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, or even shares of a privately held business. You receive an immediate tax deduction because you are giving to a qualified 501(c)(3) foundation—then you can recommend grants from your fund to support ministries like ours and other causes close to your heart.
Several types of donor-advised funds are available through the PCA Foundation, offering flexibility to fit your giving goals.
Below are the types of donor-advised funds available through the PCA Foundation.
Advise and Consult Fund
The Advise & Consult Fund is a donor-advised fund with no fees. Donate cash and other assets (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and real estate) to your fund. Receive a tax deduction for the current tax year and recommend grants at your pace to your church and favorite Christian ministries.

Single Charity Fund
A single charity fund is a fund from which the Foundation will make grants only to a single identified charitable organization. Donors frequently make qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) as rollovers from an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity because it is the only type of advised fund that may receive QCDs.

Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) once you are 70½ can be a very tax efficient way to support our mission. A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian and can lower your taxable income and satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met.
QCDs exclude the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare. Also, QCDs don’t require that you itemize, which due to the recent tax law changes, means you may decide to take advantage of the higher standard deduction, but still use a QCD for charitable giving. Consult your tax advisor for guidance.
Simply contact your IRA custodian to have them send your QCD directly to us. However, if you want to spread your QCD out over a period of time, you can initiate an IRA Charitable Rollover with the PCA Foundation. They will help you choose an investment option for the funds not disbursed until a future year, as well as determine the timing of the disbursements.
