Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account that allows donors to contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to qualified charities over time. It offers flexibility in timing donations, simplifies record-keeping, and often provides potential for investment growth. Managed by public charities, DAFs enable donors to support causes they care about while benefiting from tax advantages, making philanthropy more strategic and manageable.
