How a Donor -Advised Fund Works
-
An individual or entity makes an irrevocable tax-deductible contribution to a sponsoring non-profit organization, community foundation or financial institution to establish the fund. The individual or entity becomes a donor-advisor to the fund.
-
The sponsoring organization allocates the charitable contribution to the donor-advisor’s newly established fund, where the assets grow tax free. The donor-advisor can take an immediate tax deduction for their contribution.
-
The assets within the fund now legally belong to the sponsoring organization but the donor-advisor retains advisory privileges over disbursements made from the DAF in addition to the investment strategy.
-
All grants must meet the grantmaking criteria of the sponsoring organization, which has final authority regarding the disbursement of funds. However, so long as the recipient organization in a qualified 501(c)(3), and the grant meets all stated requirements, the sponsoring organization will honor the recommendation.
-
Once the sponsoring organization approves the recommended disbursement, the grant is made to the qualified charitable organization.
