Donor-Advised Giving Fund vs. Private Foundation: What’s Right for You?

Donor-Advised Giving Fund vs. Private Foundation:
What’s Right for You?

At New Horizons of SWFL we want to empower you to steward your resources in the most effective and joy-filled way. As generous people, many of us want not just to give, but to build a legacy of generosity. Two of the most common vehicles for strategic giving are Private Foundations and Giving Funds (also known as Donor-Advised Funds, or DAFs). While both can support your long-term philanthropic goals, they serve different needs, and understanding the differences can help you choose wisely.

Below, we walk through key considerations and where each option may make sense, especially for those of us who desire to honor God with our giving.

What Is a Giving Fund (Donor-Advised Fund)?

A Giving Fund is an account you open with a sponsoring organization (such as the National Christian Foundation (NCF), Collier Community Foundation (CCF), The Collaboratory, etc.), rather than creating a separate legal entity. When you contribute to that fund:

You receive an immediate tax-deductible gift.
You can donate not just cash, but also appreciated securities, real estate, or other complex assets.
The fund’s balance can be invested over time, allowing that pool of resources to grow tax-free.
When you’re ready, you can recommend grants to qualified charities — including international ones with U.S. affiliates — and NCF handles the administration for you.
You can see your fund, recommend grants, and manage giving online — easily, anytime.

Because your fund is held within the sponsoring organization, not as an independent legal entity, there’s far less administrative burden. You don’t have to file complex tax returns, maintain a board, or worry about the overhead of a foundation.

What Is a Private Foundation?

A private foundation is a separate, stand-alone charitable entity. Typically:

It’s governed by a board of trustees (often family members), giving you full control over how grants are made, how assets are invested, and how the foundation is run.
It must comply with IRS rules, including distributing a minimum percentage of its assets each year (usually around 5% of net investment assets).
It also has legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations: you need to file annual tax returns, maintain bylaws, record meetings, and more.
Information about grants and board members may be publicly available, reducing anonymity.
There may be an excise tax (for example, about 1.39% on net investment income) that needs to be paid annually.

Key Differences: Side-by-Side Comparison

Here’s a side-by-side look at some of the most important areas where Giving Funds (DAFs) and Private Foundations differ:

Feature	Giving Fund (DAF)	Private Foundation
Setup & Administration	Easier, hosted by a sponsoring org (e.g., NCF)	More burdensome – legal entity, filings, board, governance
Tax Deduction Limits	More generous: e.g., up to 60% of AGI for cash, and up to 30% for long-term securities.	More restrictive: e.g., up to 30% of AGI for cash and 20% for some non-cash assets.
Ongoing Compliance	Minimal: no separate tax return at the DAF account level.	Annual filings, governance, grant oversight, reporting.
Granting Flexibility	Recommend grants to public charities; the sponsor approves	Full control over grantmaking — including possibility to grant to individuals in certain cases.
Privacy	High: donor identities and grant recommendations can remain private.	Lower: some information is public; board members and grants may show on public filings.
Cost / Tax on Investment Income	No excise tax on income within the DAF.	Excise tax required.
Legacy / Perpetuity	Can continue across a generation or two, but typically not beyond.	Can be structured to last indefinitely as a family legacy.

4. Why So Many Are Choosing to Move from Private Foundations to a Giving Fund

Greater tax efficiency — Giving Funds often allow higher deduction limits and more favorable treatment of non-cash assets.
Less administrative burden — Rather than managing a foundation’s legal structure, board, and filings, donors can hand off the heavy lifting to NCF while maintaining advisory privileges.
Increased flexibility — You can recommend grants whenever you like, manage your fund online, and invite family in without the formalities of a foundation.
Privacy — If you value discretion in your giving, a Giving Fund offers greater anonymity than a private foundation.

NCF outlines a five-step process to transfer (or “terminate”) your private foundation and move its assets into a Giving Fund — simplifying your philanthropy while potentially increasing your impact.

When a Private Foundation Still Makes Sense

There are still situations where a private foundation may be the right tool:

You want full control over investments, grant structure, and perhaps even hire family members.
You wish to operate your own charitable programs, rather than just giving grants.
You see your foundation as a multi-generational legacy vehicle that will outlive you and continue giving in your family’s name.
Transparency is not a concern and you are comfortable with the public nature of foundation filings.

How to Decide What’s Best for You

Here are a few guiding questions to help you and your advisors as you weigh Giving Funds vs. Private Foundations:

What are your giving goals? Are you primarily grantmaking, or do you want to run programs?
How much control do you need — and how public do you want that control to be?
What is your giving horizon? Are you building a legacy for generations, or making flexible, long-term giving decisions?
How much administrative burden are you willing (or able) to manage?
What kinds of assets do you want to give? (Cash, stock, real estate, business interest?)
What are your tax planning goals? How might different vehicles affect your deductions and long-term tax strategy?

Conclusion / Invitation

Choosing between a Giving Fund and a Private Foundation isn’t simply a financial decision. It is a deeply personal, faith-informed choice. At New Horizons of SWFL, we are here to walk beside you as you discern the right vehicle for your generosity.

If you have any questions or need referrals to sponsoring organizations, We would be honored to help you steward your gifts with wisdom, joy, and eternal purpose. Contact New Horizons at 239-946-4146.

💙 Community Partners Who Made a Difference

New Horizons Of SWFL — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 14:31:54 +0000

Celebrating the Community That Made Summer Shine ☀️

This summer was unforgettable for our Super Kids and Super Teens, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support, generosity, and heart of our incredible community partners.

From donated meals and school supplies to inspiring guest visits and volunteer led activities, our students experienced the strength of a united community that came together to support their growth, joy, and success.

As in years past, our summer programming centered around two impactful camps: the Super Kids Reading Camp, focused on literacy, creativity, and confidence building for our younger students, and the Super Teens Leadership Camp, where teens explored leadership development through activities like team building, mentorship, and community service projects.

Essential Support

Laces of Love provided brand new shoes to every student in our summer camps. The smiles on our students’ faces said it all, this generous gift will help them walk into the new school year with confidence and comfort.
Estero Church, a long time site partner, donated backpacks filled with essential school supplies to students in the Estero Super Kids Reading Camp. Their continued support means so much to our students and their families.
Summer Meals Program, administered by Lee County Schools through Florida’s Summer BreakSpot, ensured every student received free breakfast and lunch daily, keeping them nourished and ready to thrive.
Bonita Bay Presbyterian Church donated additional backpacks, helping ensure more students had what they needed to begin the school year fully equipped.
West Bay Community Charitable Foundation and Pelican Sound Charitable Foundation helped make Super Kids Reading Camp possible through their generous grant support.

Learning & Enrichment Experiences

Bonita Arts Program brought creative energy and hands on learning opportunities to our Super Kids Reading Camp.
Captain Tom visited and shared his knowledge about fishing and the environment, engaging Super Kids in a fun and educational way.
Bonita Fire Department welcomed our students to their station and gave them an inside look at fire safety and the important work of first responders. Our students even got to live the experience of being a firefighter for a day!
Bonita Springs Assistance Office, our next-door neighbors, spoke with students about their community work and also hosted our Super Teens weekly as part of their summer service project.

Mutual Service & Giving

Gulf Coast Humane Society and Café of Life were recipients of Super Teens’ summer service projects and also took the time to visit and speak to students about their missions, creating powerful moments of mutual impact.
Topgolf and SunSplash helped make summer extra fun by offering discounted experiences that our students enjoyed.

To every individual, organization, and volunteer who poured into our students this summer: thank you. Your kindness, presence, and generosity made this season not just successful, but deeply meaningful. Because of you, our Super Kids and Super Teens are more confident, more prepared, and more inspired to shine. You are the heroes behind this summer’s success.. Your kindness, time, and generosity lit the way for our super students to grow, lead, and shine.

Want to get involved and support our mission? Learn how you can help here.

Leading Through Service

New Horizons Of SWFL — Tue, 08 Jul 2025 15:04:38 +0000

Super Teens Lead Through Service at Bonita Springs Assistance Office

This summer, students from our Super Teens Leadership Camp embraced leadership not only in words, but in action: stepping up to serve their community in meaningful ways.

It all began during the first week of camp, when Caily Martin, Director of Operations at the Bonita Springs Assistance Office, visited the students to share about her organization’s mission. Inspired by her words, the Super Teens decided to volunteer at the Assistance Office’s evening food pantry and the response was incredible.

Across three Thursdays in June, students served in every part of the food distribution process:
– Packing and labeling groceries
– Loading food into cars in the drive-thru
– Translating for Spanish-speaking families
– Welcoming and supporting clients along the way

Participation grew each week, with 35 students volunteering the first time and 49 by the final visit.

Our dedicated club directors were with the Super Teens every step of the way, providing guidance, encouragement, and mentorship—helping turn these service hours into powerful leadership lessons.

Together, they made a big impact:

94 households served
348 individuals supported
11 new households welcomed
30 students registered for school supplies
18 babies signed up for free diaper deliveries

“The kids did such an amazing job—they were so helpful, so polite, and so fun! Can’t wait to have you back.” — Caily Martin, Director of Operations, Bonita Springs Assistance Office

“Caily and I can’t stop talking about how much fun we had working with the camp kids. They were an amazing group; everyone wanted to help in whatever way they could.”— Grace Farris, Program Assistant

Even more inspiring? The Bonita Springs Assistance Office invited our Super Teens to return and volunteer again, this time on their own time or alongside their families. That’s how much of an impact they made.

This pantry project was just one of several impactful service experiences during the 2025 Super Teens Leadership Camp. Each opportunity helped our students grow in character, compassion, and confidence.

At New Horizons of SWFL, we believe in nurturing servant leaders who grow in faith, leadership, and love for their neighbors. This summer, our Super Teens lived out the values we hold dear: serving others not for recognition, but because it’s what God calls us to do.

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
— 1 Peter 4:10

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Bonita Springs Assistance Office for their generous partnership and for welcoming our students with open arms. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of families throughout our community.

🎓 Graduation Ceremony: Celebrating the Class of 2025

New Horizons Of SWFL — Mon, 12 May 2025 14:30:51 +0000

We are proud to announce that this year’s graduation ceremony marked a historic milestone for New Horizons, celebrating our largest graduating class to date — 21 remarkable students. Although three graduates were unable to attend, the Covenant Church of Naples was filled with pride, joy, and celebration as families, staff, mentors, and supporters came together to honor the Class of 2025.

A moving keynote address was delivered by New Horizons alumna Wendy Paz, who reflected on how her journey with the program shaped her future and inspired her personal and academic growth. Her testimony reminded us of the lasting impact a supportive community can make in a young person’s life.

We were honored to welcome our founders, Ellen and Bob Nichols, who presented the prestigious Bob & Ellen Nichols Scholarship to senior Maria, a student who has been part of New Horizons since the first grade. Maria has consistently demonstrated leadership, integrity, and dedication to her goals. She will begin studying at Florida SouthWestern State College to pursue a degree in healthcare, with plans to become a Cardiovascular Technician.

Maria shared powerful words that captured what New Horizons has meant to her:

“I’ve had the chance to experience things like marine labs and athletic camps—opportunities I likely wouldn’t have had otherwise. But the most meaningful part was learning about God. Through Bible lessons and verses, I discovered His love for me, especially during tough times.”

Another standout graduate was Jessica, who joined New Horizons in the 5th grade. Her resilience and hard work paid off as she was accepted into 11 colleges, including the University of Alabama, USF, and Stetson University. She plans to study nursing, and we have no doubt she’ll continue to make a difference in every community she joins.

After the ceremony, students, families, and staff gathered for a luncheon, enjoyed cake, and captured lasting memories at a festive photo backdrop. It was a day full of pride, gratitude, and inspiration.

📸 Relive the celebration — view our photo gallery here:

To the Class of 2025: Your hard work, heart, and hope are lighting the way for the next generation of super students. We couldn’t be prouder of all you’ve accomplished.

Striving For Success

New Horizons Of SWFL — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 16:21:28 +0000

by: Jillian Rameau

Brothers Quay Longs and Jamaree Jones were striving for success at an early age. During his years at FGCU, Jamaree (JJ) found himself looking to volunteer and came across New Horizons of Southwest Florida. He was passionate about impacting the community through
youth development and completed over 300 hours during his undergrad. Quay quickly became interested in giving back to the community as well, sparking his interest to become an active volunteer with New Horizons. The volunteer duo wanted to reach a greater audience of need and decided to think about opportunities students had, that they could not necessarily see. What began as a spark to impact the community, through the knowledge and growth of entrepreneurship, quickly became so much more than that.

The brothers knew they were destined to do more in their community and believe they were called to give back– this is where Strive Hall was born. After Quay took a temporary pause from school, the idea of assisting youth that have experienced similar life circumstances came to mind. The goal of Strive Hall is to reach students and inspire them with an entrepreneur mindset, encouraging them to reach their full potential in life. Leading with love is at the root of Stive Hall’s core values, says JJ. For Quay and Jamaree, it is essential that students are passionate about what they are pursuing in life, ultimately embracing their individuality. As Quay says, “it’s important to be comfortable with being uncomfortable”, as it is their goal to push students to achieve their dreams, instilling confidence and communication skills within them.

For a portion of the summer, students have the chance to stay on campus, meet new peers, and engage in fun, educational activities. Strive has been active for three years and runs June-July with multiple sessions throughout the months. With each weekend comes a new topic mostly targeting things that are not taught in school, such as emotional intelligence. Volunteers conduct workshops, games, as well as insightful conversations on understanding emotional intelligence, while educating students on coping mechanisms and identifiers. Classes are held on Florida Gulf Coast’s campus in Lucas Hall, giving those present a chance to experience what a weekend in college could be like. Students that are not sure what their future holds or are experiencing educational discouragement can gain a new perspective on all the positives entrepreneurship can offer.

For Quay and JJ, everything in their practice is purposeful and has a ‘why’. “You don’t have to be rich to give back, there are so many ways to give back to community” Quay exclaims.

Their goals are to expand their reach throughout all Southwest Florida and most importantly help individuals be the best they can be, by educating them on the opportunities of entrepreneurship.

Impacts on the community and students have been nothing short of inspiring. JJ shared that many students have chosen to enroll in college to purse their dreams, as well as return to the camp to take on leadership roles to mentor other students. The brothers are aware that motivation is what gives students a drive and JJ encourages readers to “just do it”- whatever that may be, get involved in your community, impact others, and just do it. Most importantly Quay reminds us that “if you want to have an impact on the community, you have to get in the community.” For those looking to make a difference, and get involved through volunteer work, New Horizons is the perfect place to begin, and offers a multitude of opportunities to give back.

Service Spotlight- Wendy Kephart

New Horizons Of SWFL — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:12:20 +0000

by: Jillian Rameau

After growing up in Ohio, and finishing her college education, Wendy Kephart set out to Chicago with the intent to teach 5th grade students. At the time, jobs were scarce due to the draft detriments during the Vietnam War, however through a mutual friend, Wendy found work at Continental Bank (now Bank of America). Through this bank she received the opportunity to partake in classes that contribute to a master’s degree in business administration, allowing her to grow. Finally, after over thirty years of banking, Wendy and her husband chose to retire to Estero, FL, which they now call home.

Wendy enjoys being active by playing golf with mutual friends and neighbors, but was still looking to find a church, as well as ways to get involved by giving back to the community. It was through a golf partner that New Horizons of Southwest Florida was recommended to her.

She quickly immersed herself in the efforts of New Horizons and was chosen to be on the golf tournament committee, which she has served for 16 years. While brainstorming with a friend on how to get more involved, she created the snack program. This program reached out to the greater Southwest Florida community, asking them to donate any snacks for the youth at New Horizons if they were able. Thousands of snacks have been and are continuously being dropped off at the red bench in front of Wendy’s house, where donors know to look. These efforts have lasted for over ten years, providing nourishment for the children, and thousands of dollars saved for New Horizons. In addition to that, in May of 2016, Wendy traveled to Tallahassee to obtain an award on behalf of New Horizons. The ‘Champion of Service’ award was presented to Wendy by Rick Scott and Pam Bondi for the impactful efforts of herself and New Horizons of SWFL.

Every Monday afternoon, Wendy is delighted to attend her local New Horizons and give back. She takes all the snacks dropped off at her red bench and spends time tutoring 4th and 5th graders in subjects such as reading and math. Her main goals within the organization are to set a good example and be a good tutor. While she has been highly involved in administrative committees, her heart lies among the students, as she wants to continue tutoring as much as she can. In the future she hopes to get even more friends and neighbors involved in volunteering, through displaying the positive impact students have made in her life. Her ultimate goal is to support these students and encourage them to graduate from high school, so they are enabled to move on to successful careers.

Meet Our Volunteers: Stories of Faithful Service

New Horizons Of SWFL — Sat, 19 Apr 2025 01:05:06 +0000

Celebrating the Heart Behind the Mission

This Volunteer Appreciation Week, we’re honored to share the stories of some of the amazing individuals who make our work at New Horizons of SWFL possible. Their commitment, compassion, and servant hearts create lasting impact in the lives of our super students—day in and day out.

In Part 1 of our “Meet Our Volunteers” series, get to know three inspiring volunteers who bring light, encouragement, and guidance to our super students each week.

ANDRE SELF

“My personal goal is that the children learn to love Jesus as much as He loves them.”

For the past four years, Andre has been faithfully serving at New Horizons, combining her passion for tutoring with her love for sharing the gospel. Introduced to New Horizons through Covenant Church—one of our valued Community Partners—Andre is a shining example of the power of collaboration between faith communities and local outreach.

Every Monday, she tutors and teaches an introduction to the Bible, helping our super kids grow academically and spiritually. She also serves as a co-chair for the New Horizons Community Council, working to recruit more volunteers and strengthen fundraising efforts to keep our mission thriving.

Her advice to anyone interested in getting involved? Contact Charlotte Nal, our VP of Volunteer Engagement, who makes the volunteering process simple and welcoming. “Folks will love volunteering with these special kids,” she says.

KATHY AZNAVORIAN

“My goal in tutoring is to help the students engage better in class by improving their vocabulary, their math skills, and their confidence.”

For about 10 years, Kathy has been tutoring super kids in grades 1–5, providing much-needed academic support to students from non-English speaking households. Introduced to New Horizons through her church, First Presbyterian of Bonita Springs, she quickly became a cornerstone in both the classroom and the community.

As a member of the New Horizons Community Council, she represents Bonita Bay and her building, helping collect snacks and raise funds for books and food programs. Kathy also plays a key role in the character-building and Bible study aspects of our after-school programming.

Her efforts not only build up the students but also connect the wider community to our mission of changing lives through academic support and faith-based mentoring.

LUIS MEDINA

“Even dedicating just an hour of time could mean the world to a child.”

Luis Medina has been volunteering with New Horizons since early December 2024. His passion for working with kids, especially as a father himself, sparked his desire to give back. He believes that as long as he’s breathing, he can make an impact on children’s lives. Even dedicating just an hour of time could mean the world to a child. Luis was searching for volunteer opportunities to serve kids and the community when he found New Horizons. With plans to join the Lee County Sheriff’s Department in a few months, he saw it as a great way to connect with the community and make a difference.

In his volunteer role, Luis helps the kids with their homework after they get their snacks in the cafeteria. While the kids are working on their assignments, he also looks for ways to help them further their education and make progress along the way.

For Luis, the most important goal, aside from familiarizing himself with the community for his future role in law enforcement, is to continue volunteering and serving. He hopes to eventually run for office in the county to have an even greater impact, particularly in areas like budgeting and helping the community more effectively. For anyone interested in volunteering but unsure where to start, Luis advises them to come to New Horizons. He encourages people to give it a try and find the location that works best for them, as the organization has incredible people who will connect them with the right opportunities

At New Horizons, we believe in the power of consistent encouragement, compassionate mentoring, and community support. Volunteers like Andre, Kathy, and Luis are helping us fulfill our mission to equip Southwest Florida’s most vulnerable K–12 students with the tools they need to succeed in school and life.

Empowering Super Girls in Science

New Horizons Of SWFL — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 21:28:01 +0000

Empowering Super Girls in Science: A Partnership with Judith MacGregor, the AAUW, and FGCU Heroes

At New Horizons of SWFL, we’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of leaders. Our partnership with Judith MacGregor, the American Association of University Women (AAUW), and Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) has been making a profound impact on our students for over five years.

Judith MacGregor is a true champion for girls in science. A toxicologist and scientist, she’s also a member of the AAUW and a dedicated New Horizons volunteer and supporter. For more than five years, Judith has worked tirelessly with us to provide science kits to 4th and 5th grade girls at every New Horizons site. These kits spark curiosity and show girls that they can excel in science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM).

Judith emphasizes that women are underrepresented in science, and starting early is key to changing that. Her commitment to empowering young girls is truly inspiring.

The AAUW has been a powerful advocate for women’s equity for over 140 years. Through their local chapter, they raise funds to provide science kits that encourage young girls to explore scientific careers. FGCU further strengthens this initiative by donating bags to carry the kits, supporting young scientists in our community.

The kits, part of our STEAM program, include two KiwiCo science kits, the inspiring book “Girls Can Do Anything”, and videos featuring local women in science. These resources help girls see the endless possibilities before them and envision themselves as future scientists.

For more than five years, New Horizons has benefited from this partnership. While the kits are specifically designed for girls, we serve both boys and girls, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to explore science.

Judith’s enthusiasm is contagious: “We’re not stopping anytime soon. Our mission is to continue inspiring future generations of women scientists.” With the support of Judith MacGregor, the AAUW, and FGCU, our young girls are receiving the tools, inspiration, and encouragement they need to become the scientists and leaders of tomorrow. This partnership ensures that the future is in capable hands.

A Lasting Impact

Our collaboration with Judith MacGregor, the AAUW, and FGCU has created a lasting impact on our community. By empowering young girls in science, we’re shaping a brighter future for everyone. We’re grateful for the dedication and passion of our partners and look forward to continuing this important work.
