Donor Advised Fund

Harness the Giving Power of Your Own Foundation

Are you looking for an easy, cost-effective way to support Spring Creek Church and other causes you love? A donor advised fund, which is like a charitable savings account, may be the right choice for you.

Here’s how it works. You transfer cash or other assets to The King's Foundation, Inc., the foundation the church established in 1994. You qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction at the time you contribute to the account, and the power to make recommendations on which charities to support whenever you want. You centralize your giving and record-keeping in one location.

Under IRS regulations, because you have received an immediate federal income tax deduction, you can then recommend how much and how often money is granted to Spring Creek Church or other charities. The King's Foundation offers advantages over other organizations that could hold your donor advised fund, i.e., The King's Foundation charges no set up fees, no management fees and has the church leadership available to you if you want Biblical guidance on how best to distribute the wealth God has entrusted to you.

An Example of How It Works

Happy couple calculating donations Joe and Laura want to give back to their hometown by putting their money where it will do the most good. They establish a $25,000 donor advised fund to the Kings Foundation.

The couple receives a federal income tax charitable deduction for the amount of the gift. They also get the time they need to decide which charities to support.

After researching community needs with the foundation’s staff, Joe and Laura recommend grants for Spring Creek Church (which they’ve supported for years) and a local animal shelter. The foundation presents the charities with checks from the Patricia Fund, which Joe and Laura named in honor of Laura’s mother. They name Spring Creek Church as the beneficiary to receive the account balance after their lifetimes. Joe and Laura are delighted to start this personal legacy of giving.
