You may also consider establishing a donor-advised fund with Harvard directly. With a Harvard donor-advised fund, you receive an immediate tax deduction when you establish the fund, and you and your family can make distributions to Harvard Chan School and other Harvard initiatives, as well as to other charitable organizations, on a schedule that works for you, while enjoying the investment performance of the Harvard endowment. Contact Carter Brown to learn more about the benefits of a Harvard donor-advised fund.
