How a donor advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
- When you pass away, your children may recommend charitable gifts from your DAF.
Gifts from your donor advised fund
A donor advised fund has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to Inspiration Ministries and other nonprofits. A DAF is not subject to the distribution requirements and certain excise taxes faced by private foundations. You can use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool to contact your DAF provider and make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
