What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an investment account with the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you’ll enjoy an immediate tax deduction—and easily support the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and other charities that matter to you, on your schedule.
You can make one-time gifts or set up recurring monthly donations. You can give to one charity or multiple, all from a single DAF.
DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.
How do donor-advised funds work?
DAFs can be easily set up through your financial institution or through a community foundation to serve as a flexible charitable giving vehicle. For more information on how to establish a DAF, contact your community foundation or financial advisor.
