A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account that allows individuals to contribute cash, stocks, or other assets to a sponsoring organization, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to qualified charities over time. Funds in a DAF are invested and grow tax-free. This method offers a tax-smart, flexible, and streamlined way to manage charitable giving and support various causes.
