Donor-Advised Funds FAQs
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is an investment account with the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, you’ll enjoy an immediate tax deduction – and easily support ADL and other charities that matter to you.
You can make one-time gifts or set up recurring monthly donations. You can give to one charity or multiple, all from a single DAF.
DAFs 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.
DAFs can be easily set up through your financial institution or through a community foundation to serve as a flexible charitable giving vehicle. For more information on how to establish a DAF, contact your community foundation or financial advisor.

When you create your DAF, you will name a beneficiary or beneficiaries for any funds remaining after your lifetime. You can designate ADL to receive all or a portion of the account value. Find out more.
There are a few limitations on the use of DAF gifts. When you contribute funds to your DAF account you enjoy an immediate tax deduction for which you confirm that you did not receive any goods or services.
Per IRS regulations, DAFs cannot be used to pay for tickets or tables to fundraising events or galas if the cost of the ticket is not fully tax deductible. Furthermore, DAF grants cannot be used to pay the tax-deductible portion of a ticket or table if the full cost includes both a tax deductible and non-deductible portion.
Additionally, grants may not be used to pay for items or services purchased or won at a charity auction.
