What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)? A DAF provides donors with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families, and corporations to make an irrevocable charitable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program and take an immediate tax deduction. Most sponsoring organizations of DAFs accept cash equivalents, securities, and certain other assets. 

Main advantages of a DAF:

  • Simplicity—The DAF sponsor handles all record keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.  

  • Flexibility—The timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision-making.  

  • Tax efficiency—Contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes and allowing you to support several charities from one block of stock.  

  • Family legacy—A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.  

  • No start-up costs—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).*  

  • No transaction fees—Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to your qualified public charity of choice.*  

  • Privacy if desired—Donors may choose to remain anonymous to the grant recipient.
