What is a DAF?
DAF accounts are held at financial institutions or community foundations. These agencies invest the money held in DAF accounts, so the value grows (tax-free).
DAF grants are often eligible for employee matching, so check with your company’s HR department or benefits manager.
DAF examples include:
Commercial Organizations – Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable (aka DAF360), Vanguard Charitable
National Organizations – National Christian Foundation, American Endowment Foundation, National Philanthropic Trust
Community Foundations – Local, religious-based, etc.
Theological Horizons has many donors that have used Renaissance Charitable to establish family DAF
A tax-exempted charitable giving account. DAFs are often compared to a 401(k) for retirement savings or a Health Savings Account (HSA) for healthcare. You contribute cash or assets, get the tax benefit upfront, invest the balance in the market, and make grants out to nonprofits over time.
