Donor Advised Fund
A donor advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. You can use a DAF to distribute gifts to numerous charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charity during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
You enjoy several benefits with your donor advised fund
- 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
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
Gifts from your donor advised fund
A Donor-Advised Fund is a powerful way to streamline your charitable giving. With a DAF, you can:
- Consolidate all your charitable contributions into one giving account
- Receive an immediate tax deduction in the year you contribute to your DAF
- Avoid tracking multiple receipts—you only need one for your DAF contribution
- Support causes you care about—now or over time
You can make a single, tax-deductible gift to your DAF and then recommend grants to United Way Bay Area and other nonprofits at your convenience.
To recommend a grant to UWBA, please contact your DAF provider and provide the following information:
United Way Bay Area
550 Kearny Street, Suite 510
San Francisco, CA 94108
