<h1>Irritated by public access to your benevolence through<br />your private family foundation?</h1>

You can take steps now to begin reducing the number of unsolicited requests for funds you receive every year. A <a href="http://www.waterstone.org/?/solutions/donor_advised_funds" title="Donor Advised Fund (DAF)">Donor Advised Fund (DAF)</a> at WaterStone is like a "super" private foundation but with added flexibility and confidentially. Depending upon your objectives, you may simply enhance your family foundation with the addition of a Donor Advised Fund, or completely dissolve your family foundation into a Donor Advised Fund. WaterStone has the experience to assist you with either approach.

<b>With a DAF you can close the public window to your giving lifestyle because grants made through your DAF will not be personally identifiable on public records. </b>However, you may choose to be recognized by your supported charities or choose your own level of anonymity.

<b>At WaterStone, your personal information will be maintained with the highest level of confidentiality and respect for your privacy. </b>We will not sell, trade or share your name, address, or other personal financial information with any individual or organization outside of WaterStone without your express permission unless required to do so by law.
