Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Donor Advised Fund?

A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is a giving account established at a public charity. It allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time. Donors can contribute to the fund as frequently as they like, and then recommend grants to their favorite charitable organizations whenever it makes sense for them.

Are grants from Donor Advised Funds tax deductible?

No, when you made your charitable contribution to your DAF you received an immediate tax deduction.
