4 reasons not to miss this opportunity

Two hands and a heart

Giving is down—charities need support

Giving is down for only the fourth time in 40 years. Charities are having to get by with less while facing higher prices for goods and services. But donor-advised funds continue to provide strong support and are a great way for you to come to charities’ aid.

Year-end giving will go further

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have seen meaningful gains since last October. This creates an ideal chance for greater giving. By donating appreciated securities held for longer than one year directly to your donor-advised fund, you can minimize capital gains taxes and even give more to charity.1

Take advantage of a 2023 tax deduction

A donor-advised fund is always a tax-effective way of giving, and this is your last chance for 2023. Your Vanguard Charitable donor-advised fund allows you to take the greatest possible charitable tax deduction for donated assets.1 Some assets have longer giving timelines, so it's best to get started now.
