Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes.
- You can contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund. Typically you are eligible to take an immediate tax deduction and then the funds are invested for potential tax-free growth. You can then recommend grants to any qualified public charity, such as APDA.
- You can make a one-time gift or set your DAF account to make automatic recurring grants in the amount and frequency of your choice. It’s easy to do — just log into your account on your charitable sponsor’s website and select “recurring” option. It’s a great way to make your charitable giving more convenient.
- Due to their convenience and tax-benefits, DAFs are becoming an increasingly popular way to give to the organizations you care about.
- Having funds set aside in a DAF can help you focus on your giving goals.
