December 2010 Grantees
"Our donor advisors recommended 86 grants totaling $1,524,521.98 out of their Donor Advised Funds in the month of December alone.  Donor Advised Funds are a great way for people to give tax-deductible donations to RSF and then make recommendations for grants from these funds to qualified non-profits.  Meanwhile, the dollars in the funds will continue to grow as we invest them in our innovative Donor Advised Fund Investment Portfolios.  We’re very proud of the organizations that we were able to facilitate grants for this past December:
