What Are Donor Advised Funds (DAF)s?
The only donation you’ll ever have to make. One donation to rule them all. Let us handle the rest!
When you use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), a single tax receipt is all you need. You tell us when and how you want to distribute your donations and we take care of the rest. We vet your charities, keep track of your donations, advise you on the best charities to support and can even invest your funds so that your charitable dollar grows.
