Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are quickly becoming one of the most popular tools for charitable giving—and for good reason! DAFs are an easy and tax-efficient way to your multiply your giving to the charities that matter most to you. Like owning your own private foundation (but without any of the administrative red tape), you can recommend grants from the fund on YOUR timeline. By far one of the simplest ways to give real estate, stocks, mutual funds or commodities, DAFs offer an immediate tax deduction for the market value of your donation.
