Simple Private Foundation Fund

Move Your Donor Advised Fund to PCF

Philanthropy that feels personal, because it is.

At Pinellas Community Foundation, you’re more than an account, you’re a partner in impact. We offer a donor advised fund (DAF) experience that’s:

  • Personalized — You’ll work one-on-one with a dedicated philanthropic advisor who understands your values, goals, and legacy.

  • Local — Your giving stays close to home, supporting the causes that matter in Pinellas County.

  • Connected — Enjoy invitations to events that matter: nonprofit site visits, exclusive gatherings, and our signature Bus Tours.

  • Experienced — With 55+ years of community investment, we help your generosity do the most good.

  • Welcoming — Visit our Clearwater office anytime—your questions are never too small.

“We care about the community as much as you do. That’s what makes us the right partner.”

– Duggan Cooley, CEO at PCF
