A donor advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving fund administered by a third party that allows you to combine favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support CARE. It is created to manage your charitable donations.
An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs provide a way to simplify your charitable giving. DAFs allow you to give cash, stock and other assets and receive a tax deduction when the contribution is made. Then, you may use the fund to grant specific amounts to CARE over time.
How it works
- Establish your Donor Advised Fund by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to an organization that sponsors a DAF program, such as Fidelity Charitable, National Philanthropic Trust, or your local community foundation.
- Determine the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).
- Recommend grants to Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere, Inc. (CARE) whenever you wish to make a gift. We advise entering CARE’s full legal name or employer identification number (EIN) 13-1685039 when searching a DAF charity database.
