What is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account created just for giving. You contribute to your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to the nonprofits you care about—like Ruth Eckerd Hall—over time.
Why donors love DAFs:
- Simple – one account for all your charitable giving
- Flexible – recommend gifts whenever you’re ready
- Impactful – grow your giving potential while supporting the causes you love
And DAFs aren't just for major donors. 69% of DAF gifts are under $1,000.
