DAFs are the most popular fund type we offer, acting as a charitable checking account tailored for your philanthropic goals. With a Donor Advised Fund, you can contribute various assets—cash, stock, and non-cash items—while enjoying an immediate income tax deduction. You have the flexibility to recommend grants to the causes that resonate with you the most.
