What: EFCA Foundation Donor Advised Funds, a simple and attractive charitable account for stewardship and gift planning.
The Need
- Interested in donating appreciated assets to various ministries and charities, but find that these organizations cannot handle the details?

- Have you ever considered an alternative to setting up your own family foundation?
- Do you need a charitable tax deduction now but wish to spread out your charitable gifts over a period of years?
A Solution: Reduce your paperwork and support your preferred Evangelical Free Church ministries and other qualified charities through an EFCA Foundation Donor Advised Fund.
