Benefits of a Donor Advised Fund

DAFs are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility, allowing donors to give where and when it is most convenient for them. A donor-advised trust fund is a popular choice for donors. Giving charitable gifts with a donor-advised fund can be tax-efficient and leave a legacy. 

DAFs vs. Private Foundations

DAFs, as well as private foundations, are similar in their goals. They both serve to fund philanthropic efforts. Legally, they differ, with each vehicle having different benefits, requirements, and structures. 

A donor-advised fund can be opened as an addition to your private foundation. This allows you to maximize your tax benefits while still achieving your philanthropic goals.

Here are the advantages of a donor-advised fund.

  • Maximize tax benefits
  • Donate immediately.
  • Increase your donations overtime to make more charitable dollars available for non-profits 
  • You can guarantee that your philanthropic dollars will reach the causes that you care about by making an irrevocable gift
  • Administration and organization simplified
  • Create a charitable legacy
  • You can choose how you would like to be recognized
  • A philanthropic vision is essential.
  • While still receiving a federal tax credit, you can reach international charities and NGOs.
