Donor Advised Funds
Unlock Your Giving Power!
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account designed to support the causes you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets, you may receive an immediate tax deduction, and your contribution can be invested for tax-free growth. This flexibility allows you to recommend grants to nonprofits over time, making it easier to align your giving with your philanthropic goals while navigating changing tax laws.

Establish a fund by making an irrevocable gift and receive an immediate income tax deduction.
