A gift of stock

Giving through a donor-advised fund
A donor-advised fund is a giving account established at a public charity (for example, a community foundation.) The charity serves as a “sponsoring organization,” which manages and administers individual donor-advised fund accounts. This allows you as donor to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.  Building Futures is grateful have received gifts from donor-advised funds through the East Bay Community Foundation and San Francisco Foundation.

The generous support of our donors makes it possible for Building Futures to continue providing tailored services to individuals and families in need, so they can build improved lives after homelessness and family violence.
