Giving through a private foundation is easy & powerful

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a private fund administered by a third party to manage charitable donations. You can recommend how much (and how often) you want to distribute money from that fund to Temple Emanuel or other charities.

Why is a DAF Beneficial?

• Immediate Tax Deduction: Donors receive an immediate tax deduction when they contribute to a DAF, even if the funds are distributed to charities later, allowing for strategic tax planning and management.
• Tax-Free Growth: Funds in a DAF can be invested and grow tax-free, potentially increasing the amount available for charitable giving over time.
• Simplicity and Convenience: DAFs simplify charitable giving. Donors can contribute various assets, including cash, stocks, and other securities, while the sponsoring organization handles the administrative details.
• Anonymity Option: Donors can choose to remain anonymous, offering privacy in their charitable activities.
• Legacy Planning: DAFs can be part of a donor’s legacy planning. Donors can name successors to continue recommending grants, ensuring their charitable intentions are carried on. Click here to learn more about Legacy Giving.
• Support for Multiple Charities: Through a single fund, donors can support multiple charities, streamlining their giving process and enhancing their philanthropic impact.

By utilizing a DAF, donors can maximize their philanthropic impact while enjoying significant tax and administrative benefits. Contact us to discuss options.
