DONOR ADVISED FUNDS

Simply put, a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle managed by a sponsoring organization (ie Fidelity Charitable, Vanguard, Waco Foundation) that allow donors to make a tax-deductible gift of cash or securities, receive an immediate tax deduction, and suggest grants to not-profits or charitable organizations. Over the past decade, DAFs have outpaced all other charitable giving vehicles and these contributions now represent roughly 10% of all charitable gifts in the U.S., and that trend is growing.

DAFs allow you and your family to turn financial capacity into lasting impact—on your own timeline, and in alignment with your deepest values and passions. Talitha Koum happily accepts such gifts from both individuals and families, as well as gifts from family foundations.
