WHAT IS A DONOR ADVISED FUND?

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle which combines the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support Loaves and Fishes. It allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund to Loaves & Fishes over time.

What are the Main Advantages of a Donor Advised Fund?

Simplicity – The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
Flexibility – Timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision making.
Tax-efficiency – Contributions are tax-deductible and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free.
Family legacy – A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.
No transaction fees – Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to Loaves & Fishes.
Note: Sponsoring organizations generally assess an administrative fee on the assets in a DAF. These fees vary by sponsoring organization.
