A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a public charity, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to qualified charities over time. Once you contribute assets, you can recommend how the funds are invested and which organizations receive donations, while the sponsoring organization legally holds the assets. DAFs offer benefits like immediate tax deductions, tax-free growth on investments, and the convenience of managing charitable giving through a single account.

Benefits of a DAF:

  • Tax advantages - You get an immediate tax deduction for your contributions and can avoid capital gains tax by donating appreciated assets directly.
  • Simplicity - A DAF simplifies charitable giving by allowing you to consolidate contributions and manage them through a single account.
  • Flexibility - You can recommend grants to any qualified 501(c)(3) public charity over time, and you have the option to remain anonymous.
