Donor Advised Funds

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.
