Donor-Advised Fund Advantages

Tax efficiency

DAF contributions are immediately tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law, and assets in a DAF can grow tax free outside the donor’s estate.

Flexibility

DAFs typically can be funded with a wide variety of assets, such as cash, marketable securities, private business interests, real estate, restricted stock as well as cryptocurrency.

Coordination

DAFs can complement other charitable vehicles such as private foundations and receive funding from charitable lead and remainder trusts.

Low Cost

A DAF can be established quickly with no start-up cost (although certain ongoing fees apply).

Privacy

Grants can be made to a DAF anonymously.

Legacy

Donors can establish a legacy by naming successor advisors to the DAF or endowing the DAF to support one or more designated charities in perpetuity. A DAF may also be named a beneficiary of a will, trust, insurance policy, or retirement account.
