A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a special philanthropic account established at a financial institution, community foundation, or public charity to recommend grants to your favorite organizations, like AFC. Below is some information you may need when recommending a grant from your donor-advised fund to AFC:
- Legal Name: Arlington Free Clinic

A charitable trust transfers ownership and management of cash and/or appreciated securities to Arlington Free Clinic. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRT) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLT) are great giving options for those with large charitable intent, usually $250,000 or more. Some donors who pursue these giving vehicles are interested in receiving an annuity from a CRT during their lifetime or providing a non-charitable beneficiary (e.g., family member) an annuity from a CLT at their death. Consult an estate-planning attorney to discuss the details of your intent.
Arlington Free Clinic is very grateful to those who choose to remember us in their wills or trusts, including those below:
Anne V. Hamilton
Anne spent her entire adult life in Arlington and was always involved in her local community and civic affairs. We would’ve loved the opportunity to meet Anne, who made such a generous bequest to AFC – but instead had the privilege of learning about her through the words of her friends.
