Philanthropy. Family style. Your charitable giving makes a difference in the world. Involving your children in that giving makes a difference at home. A Deseret Trust Donor-Advised Fund can help you teach generosity, gratitude, and family values through philanthropy—helping you train up a child now to bless the future. Deseret Trust Company is an integrated auxiliary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the First Presidency of the Church appoints the chairman and board of trustees. Donors can have confidence that Deseret Trust is governed by the same principles common to Church operations. Often individuals have a desire to help build the kingdom through planned gifts. In partnership with Philanthropies, a department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we can assist them and their advisors in the details of these gifts.
