What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support your favorite charities. It's like a charitable investment account, managed by a public charity that sponsors a DAF program, where you can contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to nonprofits over time.
Who Uses DAFs?
Who Uses DAFs?
DAFs are ideal for:
- Individuals and families looking to streamline their giving
- Businesses seeking a structured approach to philanthropy
- Anyone wanting to build a legacy of charitable impact
Why Choose a DAF?
Why Choose a DAF?
DAFs offer several key benefits:
- Simplicity: The sponsoring charity handles all paperwork and disbursements.
- Flexibility: Donate now, decide later where to give.
- Tax Efficiency: Immediate tax deductions and tax-free investment growth.
- Legacy Building: Involve your family in giving decisions.
- Low Cost: There is no cost to establish a donor‐advised fund. However, there are often minimum initial charitable contributions to establish the DAF (typically $5,000 or more). Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to your qualified public charity of choice. Sponsoring organizations generally assess an administrative fee on the assets in a DAF. These fees vary by organization.
- Privacy: Option to give anonymously.
How Does a DAF Work?
How Does a DAF Work?
1. Contribute: Make an irrevocable donation of cash, securities, or other assets to a sponsoring charity.
2. Invest: Choose from investment options to potentially grow your charitable dollars.
3. Recommend Grants: Suggest grants to IRS-qualified charities at your convenience.
4. Support Causes: Your chosen nonprofits receive the funds, often without needing to issue a tax receipt.
