What is a Donor Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) provides donors with a centralized charitable giving vehicle. It allows philanthropically inclined individuals, families, and corporations to make an irrevocable charitable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program and take an immediate tax deduction. Once that’s done, DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts; and the donor serves as an advisor to the fund and recommends grants to the qualified public charities of their choice.

Contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes and allowing you to support several charities from one block of stock.

For more information, please reach out to Carsten Walter at [email protected].

Please note that The Heritage Foundation does not provide provide tax or legal advice. Make sure to speak with your professional tax or legal advisor with questions about donor advised funds and gifts to The Heritage Foundation.
