What are the main advantages of a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
- Simplicity: The donor-advised fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
- Flexibility: The 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. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes.
- 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 the NDSC.
Your financial advisor can help you set up your personalized donor-advised fund if you don't already have a DAF.
