What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to contribute funds or other eligible assets, receive potential tax benefits, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
DAFs are managed by sponsoring organizations, such as financial institutions or community foundations, allowing donors to organize their charitable giving and support the causes that matter most to them.

How Does a DAF Work?
- Open and fund your account. Establish a DAF through a sponsoring organization and contribute cash, stocks, or other eligible assets.
- Choose when and where to give. Recommend grants from your account to eligible charitable organizations, including Debbie’s Dream Foundation.
- Make an impact. Your DAF sponsor reviews and distributes approved grants, putting your charitable dollars to work for the causes you care about.
Why Give Through a DAF?
Donor-advised funds offer several benefits for individuals and families looking to make charitable giving part of their financial planning.
- Flexible giving: Contribute to your DAF now and recommend grants to charitable organizations over time.
- Potential tax advantages: Contributions to a DAF may qualify for an income tax deduction in the year they are made, subject to applicable tax rules.
- Simplified charitable giving: Manage donations to multiple organizations through one account, with your sponsoring organization handling administrative tasks.
- A lasting impact: Many DAFs allow you to establish recurring grants or designate charitable beneficiaries to continue supporting causes that matter to you.
