Beyond the gala
Turn one evening of generosity into a lasting family, corporate, or personal giving strategy. A donor-advised fund transforms your charitable impulse into deliberate action.
One evening, lasting impact
The gala brings you together for a single night. SITN's work with children, families, and local organizations continues every day. A donor-advised fund bridges that gap, turning your generosity into sustained strategy that compounds over years.

Why donors use a donor-advised fund
02. Time
Contribute in a high-income or high-liquidity year, then recommend grants to charities over time.
03. Stretch
Donate eligible appreciated public securities in kind. Where the rules apply, the taxable capital gain may be reduced to zero, preserving more value for charitable giving.
05. Teach
Involve children, successors, or leadership teams in charitable decisions and shared values.
06. Simplify
Create a foundation-style giving structure without the administration of a private foundation.
