A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about most. Think of it as a charitable investment account: you contribute assets—like cash, stock, or other appreciated securities—into your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to nonprofits over time. 

This approach allows you to maximize the impact of your giving, plan your philanthropy on your own schedule, and often reduce capital gains taxes when donating appreciated assets. For donors who want both convenience and impact, a DAF can be a powerful tool.
