Donor Advised Fund (DAF)  

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. DAFs are a great way to simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your philanthropic goals.

​

 How does it work? 

• Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to an investment firm such as Community Foundation of Western PA and Eastern Ohio, Bridge Builders Community Foundation, National Christian Foundation (NCF), others that sponsors a DAF program

• Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free)

• Recommend grants be given to Seneca Hills Bible Conference.

 

Why a donor-advised fund?

• Simplicity: The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements; tax receipts.

• Flexibility: 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 and allowing you to support multiple charities from one block of stock.

• Family legacy: A DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.

• No start-up cost: There is no cost to establish a donor-advised fund. However, there are often minimum initial charitable contributions to establish the DAF (typically $5,000 or more).

• No transaction fees: Once approved, 100% of your recommended grant goes to your qualified charity of choice.**

• Privacy if desired: Donors may choose to remain anonymous to the grant recipient.
