Donor-Advised-Funds-Sisters

A donor-advised fund (DAF), is an investment account for philanthropic giving. Because DAF sponsors are public charities, your donation is considered tax deductible. This gives you flexibility to support your favorite charities, like SOAR!

How a DAF works

When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction.

Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity, such as SOAR!

Did you know you can use your DAF to...

  • Recommend recurring gifts. You can set up a plan to recommend grants to SOAR! on an ongoing monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis.
  • Leave a lasting legacy. You can name SOAR! as a beneficiary for all or part of your donor advised fund. You can also name your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending donations from your DAF to charitable organizations. Contact your fund administrator for a beneficiary form.
