¿What are Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)? 

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are charitable accounts where donors contribute assets, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to charities over time. They offer tax benefits and flexibility in giving. 

¿How do Donor-Advised Funds work? 

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) work by allowing donors to contribute assets to a fund, receive an immediate tax deduction, and invest the assets for growth. Donors then recommend grants to charities from the fund over time, providing flexibility in their charitable giving. The fund’s investments grow tax-free, increasing the potential impact of the donations.
