Donor Advised Fund

You can use a donor advised fund to recommend grants to Catholic-aligned charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charities throughout your lifetime and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

Flowchart: Donor transfers stock or cash to a donor advised fund and the donor advised fund makes charitable distributions.

Donor Advised Fund Benefits

  • Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving.
  • Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation.
  • Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift.

How a donor advised fund works

  1. You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at The Catholic Foundation.
  2. The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
  3. You make grant recommendations 24/7 from your DAF to Catholic-aligned organizations.
