A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an easy and flexible way to make charitable donations while receiving tax benefits. Administered by third parties, DAFs allow you to donate cash, stock, and other assets and receive an immediate tax deduction when the contribution is made. DAFs are a popular way to give, because you can maximize your donation in the most tax-advantageous way. Designate a grant from your DAF, and we will immediately put it to work to confront lung cancer.
Why give from a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
- Up-front tax deduction on donations into the donor advised fund, including if funded with appreciated assets like stocks.
- Ease of recommending and disbursing gifts straight from your fund.
- Less paperwork than establishing a family foundation yet still offers a tremendous legacy of family philanthropy.
