A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity created to manage charitable donations on behalf of organizations, families, or individuals. To participate in a DAF, a donating individual or organization opens an account in the fund and deposits cash, securities, or other financial instruments. They receive an immediate tax deduction for the donation, but the fund has legal control over it. The primary benefits of a DAF include: 1. Simplicity: The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts. 2. Flexibility: Contributors can advise how they want their donations to be distributed. 3. Tax efficiency: Contributors can receive an immediate tax deduction when they contribute to the fund, and avoid capital gains taxes on donated assets. 4. Legacy: DAFs can be set up to continue giving long after the original donors are gone. --- Choosing Daffy for your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) offers a multitude of benefits.
