What is a donor advised fund (DAF)?
A donor advised fund is a way to simplify your giving by making a gift to a fund with Boy Scouts of America that can distribute gifts to the charities of your choice during your lifetime and help your children carry on your legacy of giving after you are gone.
How a donor advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at Boy Scouts of America.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
- When you pass away, your children may recommend charitable gifts from your DAF.
Gifts from your donor advised fund
A donor advised fund has several advantages. The start-up time and cost are minimal for DAFs, and gifts to DAFs are generally deductible at fair market value. A DAF is also not subject to the distribution requirements and certain excise taxes faced by private foundations. You can use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool to contact your DAF provider and make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
