DAFs are a powerful tool for more engaged & impactful philanthropy.

There are several reasons why donors prefer to use a Donor Advised Fund, including:

  1. Tax Benefits like immediate deductions, avoiding capital gains, and tax-free principle growth

  2. Better organization for intentional philanthropy, say for giving a fixed percentage of your income or dollar amount to charity annually

  3. Less administrative burden with increased flexibility, especially when compared to a family foundation
