Donor Advised Fund
What is a Donor Advised Fund?
A Donor Advised Funds (DAF) is an investment account that is set up for the purpose of supporting the causes you care about most, like Jewish Family Service of San Diego. You can create a DAF with cash, stocks, mutual funds, or other assets and receive an immediate tax deduction. The organization you choose to manage the DAF will invest it on your behalf and the contributions grow tax-free. Once your DAF has been established, you may support qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits through grant recommendations.
