What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants over time to your favorite charitable organizations, like ALF. It’s a flexible and efficient way to manage your charitable donations.

Why Give Through a DAF?

Charitable Deductions

You will qualify for a current federal income tax charitable deduction, even though the funds may not be dispersed to a charity until much later.

Capital Gains

Avoid capital gains taxes by donating appreciated assets, like stocks, to your DAF. You get an immediate deduction for the full donation value and avoid paying capital gains taxes on the donated amount.

Multiply Your Giving

Upon making a charitable contribution to your DAF, your gift will be invested, growing in value over time and giving you a greater overall impact through your giving.
