Frequently asked questions

What is a donor-advised fund?

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is an investment account that is used for charitable giving. DAFs can be relatively inexpensive to create and maintain, while also offering donors some ability to manage their tax situation through giving. It is composed of donations made by individuals and administered by a third party. The third party is called the sponsoring organization. A donor-advised fund offers immediate tax relief and allows you to support your favorite charities immediately or over time.

Is there a tax deduction when making a gift through a donor-advised fund?

Yes, the donor-advised fund donor receives tax documentation from the sponsoring organization of the DAF.

Are there any rules around my donor-advised fund gift?

Yes, grants can only be made to qualified charities and cannot be made to a person. The donor cannot receive more than an incidental benefit, so it cannot be used for the admission price to an event or gala.
