A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account established to manage charitable contributions from many different donors. When you contribute to a DAF, you generally can choose the charities you want to support and the time frame for distributing the assets. You’re entitled to an immediate tax deduction for the full amount of your contribution in the year you donate the assets, even if the charity won’t receive them right away. You don’t have to be wealthy to contribute to a DAF. Some funds have relatively low contribution thresholds.
Making Contributions
You can contribute many kinds of assets to a DAF, including cash; stocks, bonds, and mutual funds; retirement account assets; cryptocurrency; life insurance; and other assets. You won’t pay capital gains on any appreciated assets you donate to the fund, and you’ll typically be entitled to a tax deduction based on the asset’s current value. Wealthy donors may be able to reduce the size of their estate for estate tax purposes by contributing to a DAF, because assets contributed to the fund aren’t subject to estate tax.
Although you can specify the organizations that you want to support, keep in mind that the fund makes the final decision on where your donations ultimately go.
