What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows individuals, families, and businesses to make charitable contributions, receive potential tax advantages, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.

Many donors choose to use donor-advised funds because they provide a simple, flexible way to support the causes they care about while creating a lasting charitable legacy.
