A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) simplifies your giving while maximizing your impact.
With one donation, you gain access to a powerful charitable account that allows you to recommend grants, invest your contributions, and support causes aligned with your values—on your timeline.
At AMCF, we make it easy. Over 200 families trust us to manage their DAFs with Islamic values, tax efficiency, and strategic guidance.
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.
