One Donor. Many Ways to Make an Impact.

Your donation makes it possible to help all people who come to us for life-saving, life-changing medical care. To provide the latest disease-fighting technology. To offer programs in our community that you and your neighbors depend on for good health. That's the difference you can make.

Donate today and grow your future giving

With a Donor-Advised Fund, you contribute assets that may continue to grow and increase the impact of your future charitable donations.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) make your charitable giving easier for years to come. Assets you donate today provide you with immediate tax benefits and may be invested to grow, allowing you more funds for your future giving recommendations. 

You can support the Bon Secours Mercy Health Foundation by giving from your existing DAF or you can establish a new DAF with our Foundation. We offer an attractive, professionally administered Donor-Advised Fund product with an entry point that fits many donors’ budgets.

Open a Donor-Advised Fund with BSMH Foundation

You can establish a Donor-Advised Fund at a sponsoring charity like BSMH Foundation (or a community foundation, a public charity with a DAF program or even a well-known financial services company that offers DAFs.) The BSMH Foundation only requires a $10,000 minimum contribution of cash or appreciated assets such as stocks or mutual funds to start a DAF, whereas others require as much as $25,000. And you’ll get an immediate income tax charitable deduction for your contribution that could reduce your taxes if you itemize. 

Once established and funded, you can recommend that charities like BSMH Foundation receive grants from your DAF. Our funds require a $250 minimum grant recommendation, or you can recommend distributing the entire balance of your DAF for a cause that is important to you. You don’t get an additional income tax charitable deduction for these grants, however.

You can also create a succession plan to recommend that some or all remaining fund assets at your passing go to BSMH Foundation and other charities that are important to you.

Interested in starting your own Donor-Advised Fund? We’re happy to discuss how a DAF can help you accomplish your charitable giving goals. You should also consult your professional advisor for guidance.
