Donor Advised Fund Basics
Still learning about DAF's? Here's an example of how it works:
Joe and Meg want to give back to their hometown by putting their money where it will do the most good. They establish a $25,000 donor advised fund with a community foundation.
The couple receives a federal income tax charitable deduction for the amount of the gift. They also get the time they need to decide which charities to support.
After researching community needs with the foundation's staff, Joe and Meg recommend grants for Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina (which they've supported for years) and a local animal shelter. The foundation presents the charities with checks from the Katherine Fund, which Joe and Meg named in honor of Meg's mother. They name Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina as the beneficiary to receive the account balance after their lifetimes. Joe and Meg are delighted to start this personal legacy of giving.
