When opening a donor advised fund (DAF) at CFNJ, you will be matched with a member of our donor services team who can assist you with your giving goals, identify and evaluate nonprofits, or connect you with other donors who share your interests. We can help you create a future plan for the fund or enable your family and loved ones to participate in your grantmaking. In addition, we have extensive experience with converting non-cash assets into charitable gifts — helping you maximize the impact of your philanthropy.
When establishing a DAF, you’re contributing to your communities. Unlike commercial funds, our fund management fee goes directly into supporting work to improve the community, not to a for-profit company.
While we work with donors who care deeply about New Jersey, many also have philanthropic interests nationally or even globally. A DAF can be used to make grants to any qualified charity in the United States or around the world.
Our investment management follows the highest industry standards, ensuring the growth of your charitable dollars to support the causes that are important to you. We offer different investment options based on your time horizon for giving.
CFNJ provides millions of dollars in grants every year, giving us extensive knowledge of the nonprofit landscape and the needs and opportunities throughout the state. We are a statewide resource for donors to come together and make a difference.
