Donor Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about, and they are quickly becoming one of America's most popular tools for charitable giving.

When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund organization, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to charities and causes you care about. DAFs are like your own private foundation but without any of the administrative red tape.

Flowchart: Donor transfers stock or cash to a donor advised fund and the donor advised fund makes charitable distributions.

How a donor advised fund works

  1. You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization
  2. The assets in your DAF grow tax-free
  3. You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF
  4. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
