Donor-Advised Funds

Support multiple charities with one fund

With a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), you can conveniently support multiple charities through one fund. You receive immediate tax advantages with the flexibility to give over time. Donor-Advised Funds are often used to replace or enhance private foundations as a more flexible, efficient and less expensive way of giving.
