DAF Day is October 9th!

Join thousands of others in making this the shared day for bigger, better giving — with Donor-Advised Funds.
 

What is a DAF?

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account.

DAFs are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare expenses.

Any person, couple, family–or even company–can open a DAF account at more than 1,000 providers around the country. DAFs have surged in popularity in recent years because they are incredibly effective at increasing giving capacity and streamlining philanthropy.
 

How DAFs work

Contribute
Make a tax-deductible contribution of cash, securities or real estate, private equity, art, and collectibles.

Invest
