What is a Donor Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a philanthropic investment account created to support the causes you care about. You can contribute cash, securities, or other assets, and receive an immediate tax deduction in the year you give. Unlike direct donations, contributions to a DAF can grow tax-free over time, allowing you to increase your impact. You then recommend grants from your fund to public charities at your own pace – even if it’s in a different tax year than when you made the contribution. You can also name successors or charitable beneficiaries, making a DAF a powerful tool for legacy giving that extends your impact beyond your lifetime.
If you have any questions, please email Laura Nash at lnash@strength.org or call (202) 594-3494.
*Please note that the IRS prohibits the use of donor-advised funds where more than an incidental benefit is received by the donor in return (e.g., event table/tickets, purchase of auction items). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received (i.e., the “non-deductible” amount). Therefore, all table/ticket and auction purchases must be funded personally outside of a donor-advised fund. For further guidance, please consult with your DAF administrator.
