Donor-Advised Fund

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 give cash, stock, and other assets and receive an immediate tax deduction when the contribution is made. DAFs are a popular charitable vehicle as you can maximize your giving in the most tax-advantageous way. Designate a grant from your DAF and we will immediately put it to work to confront lung cancer. Meet some of our DAF donors.

If you already have a DAF, you may make a direct transfer through the DAF DIRECT form on this page.

If you want to establish a DAF, here’s how it works:

• Open a donor-advised fund account as you would any other investment account. Larger institutions like Fidelity Charitable and Schwab Charitable let you open them online.
• Fund your DAF account and take a tax deduction. (Any investment growth is tax-free.)
• Recommend grants be made to GO2 for Lung Cancer.

• 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.

When you make a gift to GO2 for Lung Cancer through your donor-advised fund (DAF) as part of the 2025 #HalfMyDAF Challenge, your contribution may be matched dollar for dollar—but only if you give by June 27, 2025.

Join today by following these simple steps:

1. If you already have a DAF, you can make a direct transfer using the DAF DIRECT form on this webpage. If you don’t have a DAF, you can set one up by following the steps outlined above.
2. Download your request confirmation or take a screenshot and complete the #HalfMyDAF commitment form.
3. Submit your request by June 27, 2025.
