What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund, often called a DAF, is a charitable giving account established through a sponsoring organization such as a community foundation, financial institution, or charitable fund. Donor-advised fund giving allows you to recommend grants from charitable funds you've already set aside to support organizations like Gateway Children's Services.
Donors contribute cash, stocks, or other eligible assets to their DAF and may be eligible for a charitable tax deduction at the time of the contribution. The donor can then recommend grants from the fund to eligible nonprofit organizations over time.
If you already have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a grant to Gateway Children's Services.

Put Your Charitable Dollars to Work
Many donors contribute to a donor-advised fund and receive the applicable charitable tax benefit when the contribution is made to the fund. The money can then remain in the DAF until the donor recommends grants to qualified charities.
If you have funds available in your DAF, recommending a grant to Gateway Children's Services is an opportunity to put those charitable dollars to work for children and families.
You may also be able to recommend additional grants to Gateway in the future, making your DAF an easy way to provide ongoing support.
