New to Donor Advised Funds?
A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving account managed by a sponsoring organization, such as a community foundation, Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, DAFgiving360, or other organization.
You contribute cash, investments or other assets to the account and may be eligible for a charitable tax deduction in the year you make the contribution. Those funds are then set aside for charitable purposes, and you can recommend grants from your DAF to WXPR and other eligible nonprofit organizations, either now or over time.
Funds in a DAF can typically be invested with the potential to grow, giving you flexibility to plan your charitable giving over time. Many DAFs also allow you to establish recurring grants to organizations you support regularly.
Why use a DAF?
A DAF can make charitable giving simpler by allowing you to:
- Set aside money for charitable giving when the timing is right for you.
- Support multiple nonprofit organizations from one charitable account.
- Give now or plan your charitable giving over time.
- Contribute cash as well as stocks and other appreciated assets, depending on your DAF provider.
- Keep track of your charitable giving in one place.
A Few Things to Know
When you contribute to a DAF, those assets are irrevocably dedicated to charitable purposes. The sponsoring organization has legal control of the funds, while you retain the ability to recommend grants to eligible charitable organizations.
Your charitable tax deduction, when applicable, is associated with your contribution to the DAF rather than with each grant you later recommend from the account.
Considering opening a DAF? Donor Advised Funds are offered by community foundations, financial institutions and charitable organizations. A financial or tax advisor can help you determine whether a DAF makes sense for your charitable goals.
