A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to a sponsoring organization, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your chosen charities over time. DAFs provide tax-free growth on investments, offer flexibility in timing grants, and simplify the process of donating various assets, including appreciated securities, real estate, and cryptocurrency. They are a popular tool for tax-efficient philanthropy and can be managed through financial institutions, community foundations, or specialized organizations.
[Right to Life of North Central Indiana Education Fund can accept DAF donations.]
How a DAF Works
- Contribute Assets: You make an irrevocable contribution of cash, appreciated stock, real estate, or other assets to a sponsoring public charity.
- Receive Tax Deduction: You receive an immediate tax deduction for the amount you contributed to the DAF.
- Invest Funds: The funds in your DAF are invested by the sponsoring organization, allowing them to grow on a tax-free basis.
- Recommend Grants: You then recommend grants from the fund to qualified charities of your choice, either as one-time or recurring donations.
Benefits of a DAF
- Tax Advantages: Provides an immediate tax deduction for contributions and allows for tax-free growth of your charitable investments.
- Flexibility: You can decide to donate later, which is especially helpful for managing high-income years or complex asset donations.
- Simplified Giving: Makes it easier to donate various types of assets, including non-cash and appreciated securities.
- Anonymity: You can maintain privacy and anonymity in your giving if you choose.
- Flexibility in Giving: You can support multiple charities and change your philanthropic strategy over time.
When to Consider a DAF
- You are in a higher tax bracket and want to maximize tax deductions.

Current tax law allows individuals to make charitable donations directly from their IRA through Qualified Charitable Distributions. A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution from a traditional or Roth IRA made directly by the IRA trustee to a qualified charitable organization (Right to Life of North Central Indiana is a qualified charity) when the IRA owner is age 70½ or older. A QCD may satisfy the client’s required minimum distribution (RMD) and, for 2024, up to $105,000 of QCDs may be excluded annually from an individual’s taxable income.
