Donor-Advised Fund Donations

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support the charities that matter most to you. DAFs are an increasingly popular giving tool that enables donors to make grant recommendations from the fund over time. Locally, the most commonly used DAF resources are Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and the Central Valley Community Foundation. If you have a DAF, you can recommend grants directly to support the River Parkway Trust.

Planned Giving

Since our inception in 1988, the San Joaquin River Parkway and Conservation Trust has relied on financial support from people who share our commitment to preserving the San Joaquin River, protecting land, and creating a 22-mile Parkway from Friant Dam to Highway 99. Among these people, one group makes the most lasting gift: those who remember the Trust in their wills or estate plans. To make a gift of any kind to the Trust is an act of generosity. To make a long-term gift, derived from the work of a lifetime, is to make a commitment beyond measure. At the River Parkway Trust, they form a very special group of donors known as the Banner Peak Society. There are many ways to include the River Parkway Trust in your estate plans; among these are Bequests, Insurance and Retirement Plans, and Life Income Gifts. For more information, please contact Sarah Parkes, Assistant Director at (559) 248-8480 ext. 107 or via email at sparkes@riverparkway.org.
