Do you have a loved one or friend from a Latin American country? Have you studied, traveled or done business in the region? Whatever your motivation, there are multiple ways in which you can help improve the quality of life of those in Latin America.

DAF
A charitable account where you make a contribution, get an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants strategically to chosen charities over time. This is a cost-effective way to simplify and optimize charitable giving for greater tax efficiency.
The Resource Foundation’s philanthropic expertise in grant management across the Americas can help you identify organizations that align with your funding goals, ensuring that all grants support legitimate charitable programs. Our commitment is to ensure funds are utilized for your intended purpose and are fully compliant with all U.S. laws.
A DAF eliminates the substantial time and costs associated with creating and sustaining a private foundation and obtaining IRS tax-exempt status.
