Be In the "Know" with a Charitable Checking Account^SM
– A Simple, Effective Way to Give

You've heard the phrase, "You don't know what you don't know." In a recent survey of community members, we learned that many Greater Daytonians understand The Dayton Foundation and its 4,000 donors work to benefit the community, however there's still a population who know very little about the Foundation and how we help people like you help others.

We encourage you to be in the "know" about a free service that helps you make the most of your charitable dollars, the Charitable Checking Account. Whether you're gifting appreciated stock to avoid capital gains taxes when the market is high or "bunching" charitable donations to earn a tax break in one year while distributing the assets over multiple years, a free Charitable Checking Account is a great solution for all your charitable giving needs.

No minimum deposit or balance is required, and you can give online to charities of your choice – locally and around the world. The CCA service helps you make the most of your charitable dollars and maximize your tax benefits. We take care of the details so you can focus on what really matters – supporting the causes you care about most.
