Yes, supporting a race event through your Daffy fund is absolutely possible! Daffy is a fantastic option for a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) as it allows you to support a wide range of charitable causes, including race events organized for charity.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, the donation must meet the criteria for allowed donations. This means it should not lead to more than incidental benefit for you and should not be part of a pre-existing binding commitment.
When making the donation recommendation, remember to include your friend’s name, the race event, and other relevant information in the "Add a private note" field. This will ensure that your donation is directed correctly.
It's important to note that Daffy members cannot recommend donations to satisfy pre-existing pledges or obligations for their private benefit. Donation recommendations should not provide more than an incidental benefit to you or your family. For instance, donations that cover tuition payments, tickets to a gala, or membership benefits to other organizations may not be approved.
However, members are permitted to receive items of “insubstantial value” according to IRS rules, such as a keychain or calendar. Receiving recognition for a donation is generally also acceptable.
Daffy is not just a platform for making donations, it's a community that encourages discussions about the causes and organizations you support. It's a place where you can make giving a habit. So, if you're looking to support a race event or any other charitable cause, Daffy is a great option for you.
