Donor Advised Funds (DAF) | One Minute Tax Tips

This week’s One Minute Tax Tip discusses managing your #charitablegiving in a tax-smart way by considering opening and funding a DAF, or donor advised fund.

In addition to the benefit of potentially receiving an immediate #incometaxdeduction, opening and funding a DAF allows you to transfer and donate stocks, bonds, and other appreciated investments, helping you to avoid paying capital gains taxes on them. Plus, you get to name your DAF whatever you may like (i.e. “The Jones Family Foundation” or “The Smith Philathropic Fund”)!
