Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about.

When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to virtually any IRS-qualified public charity.

Donor-advised funds are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity. Moreover, they are a great way to support Community Hands. If you already have a charitable investment account with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, giving is even easier using DAF Direct.

Donations from all donor-advised funds are welcomed and encouraged!
