Committee Advised Funds

A Committee Advised Fund (CAF) at The Ocean Foundation offers you an easy way both to develop your philanthropic plan and to manage your legacy. A CAF offers you a number of important benefits:

create a charitable legacy for your business or your family
establish and name your own fund quickly and easily ("The Smith Co. Fund")
recommend the recipients for your fund's grants
remove year-end giving pressure while receiving an immediate tax deduction
contribute cash, securities, real estate, and/or other assets
donate anonymously if desired
and most importantly - help save the planet's oceans!

A CAF is substantially similar to a DAF, except that the grantmaking advice comes from a committee established by TOF to provide an expert panel to advise TOF's board in grantmaking, scholarships or other awards from the fund.
