A Healthy Use for Your Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund is like a charitable savings account—it’s an increasingly popular tool for people who want to do good for their community or the world. With your donor-advised fund you can make a gift to any IRS-qualified nonprofit organization.

Giving by individuals, including by those with donor-advised funds, increased by 3.9% in 2016 to a record $390 billion. Yet only 8% of those dollars went to health causes.

Many people don’t realize that most hospitals—including Overlake—are charitable nonprofit organizations that need contributions from the communities they serve.

Supporting your community’s hospital through your donor-advised fund or through direct donation helps ensure that great medical care is there for you, your family and your neighbors, now and in the future.
