Donor Advised Funds, or DAFs for short, are a great way to make a charitable gift. A DAF is essentially a “giving account” established with a public charity, allowing for immediate tax deductions and gives the donor the ability to recommend grants from the fund.

How does it work?

– First, you open an account with a financial institution that has a DAF program (such as Fidelity or Charles Schwab). You may contribute cash, appreciated assets, or investments.

– Second, invest your assets with the help of your investment provider.

– Third, recommend grants to a recognized 501(c)3 charitable organization, such as Clelian Heights School.

Why is a DAF a good idea?

Having a Donor Advised Fund allows you to be intentional about your charitable giving. The money is already set aside for the purpose of giving it away and making a difference in the lives of others.

There are many ways to make an estate gift. Please contact your tax advisor or estate planning professional to determine which is best for you. The most common type of estate gift is a bequest, which can be for a specific amount or percentage of your estate, or a residual amount which is determined after your loved ones have been taken care of. Other types of planned gifts include life insurance, securities, savings bonds, closely held stock, and retirement plans.
