DAF: A Smart Way to Give


donor advised funds: a smart way to give
Donor Advised Funds are one of the fastest-growing financial tools on the market — and
for good reason—they help donors simplify, secure, and grow their charitable dollars.
Selecting the right partner in your giving comes down to what you value the most.
Deciding to establish a Donor Advised Fund at the Community Foundation of Anne
Arundel County means that you have big plans for your charitable giving and you want to
make an impact.
1. give
A donor makes an irrevocable contribution to a Donor Advised
Fund and will immediately receive the charitable tax benefit.
CFAAC staff can help you support the organizations you love, now or
over time.
2. grow
The donor may advise the investment allocation of the donated
assets — any investment growth is tax-free.
CFAAC offers a variety of expertly managed investment pools to help
meet your short and long term charitable goals.
3. Grant
The donor may recommend grants to qualified public charities
of their choice.
CFAAC provides personalized engagement and funding opportunities
including philanthropic and financial giving guidance, research, and
educational events.
Grantmaking is accurate, efficient, and flexible through CFAAC’s online
donor portal.
