Donor Advised Funds
Are you looking for a simple, flexible tool that allows you to manage and maximize your giving to support the ministries that matter most to you? Would you like to have the ability to make a single significant gift to support multiple ministries that you are passionate about? Are you interested in a way to simplify your annual and lifetime charitable giving?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, a donor advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. With a DAF, you can distribute gifts to one or more ministries during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
Benefits of a donor advised fund
- Deductibility. You may be entitled to make an immediate income tax deduction each time you make a gift. Contributions of appreciated capital assets avoid capital gain taxes.
- Flexibility. You can give when and where you want. Take your time deciding how to designate your giving. There is no deadline for making distributions.
- Simplicity. A DAF is easy to set up and helps you avoid the extensive bookkeeping and check-writing that is often involved in charitable giving.
- Versatility. You can make gifts to your DAF using cash, appreciated securities and a variety of other assets.
- Multiplicity. You can make a gift of one large asset to fund multiple charitable interests.
- Privacy. You can designate your grants anonymously if you wish.
- Family. You can engage your family in the journey and joy of generosity.
- Legacy. You can ensure that your legacy continues on by leaving instructions with your heirs directing them to give.
How a donor advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at The Alliance.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
- When you pass away, your children may recommend charitable gifts from your DAF.

More on donor advised funds
A donor advised fund has several advantages when compared to a private foundation. The start-up time and cost are minimal for DAFs, and gifts to DAFs are generally deductible at fair market value. A DAF is also not subject to the distribution requirements and certain excise taxes faced by private foundations.
