Give through your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)

What is a Donor Advised Fund?

A donor advised fund (DAF) is an investment account with the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you’ll enjoy an immediate tax deduction—and easily support the Institute and other charities that matter to you, on your schedule.

You can make one-time gifts or set up recurring monthly donations. You can give to one charity or multiple, all from a single DAF. Many DAF sponsors also allow you to pass the remaining funds in your account at your death to your favorite charities. 

DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the U.S. because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.

DAFs can be easily set up through your financial institution or through a community foundation to serve as a flexible charitable giving vehicle. For more information on how to establish a DAF, and recommend a gift to support the Institute, contact your community foundation or financial advisor today!
