Donating to AdoptAClassroom.org through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a tax-smart way to help students thrive.
What is a donor-advised fund?
A DAF is a giving account that allows you to support charitable causes with flexibility and ease. When you contribute assets — such as cash, stocks, stock options, mutual funds or real estate — you receive immediate tax benefits. You can then recommend grants to nonprofits over time, on the schedule that works best for you.
Because a DAF functions like a charitable investment account, your contributions can grow tax-free, helping you increase the impact of your giving. It also simplifies your philanthropy by consolidating all of your charitable donations into one account.
DAFs are accessible to a wide range of donors. You do not need to be wealthy to open one, and some providers, including Schwab and Fidelity, have no minimum contribution or age requirement.
Watch this short video for an explanation of how donor-advised funds work.
