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 Union College and other charities. With a DAF, you can make philanthropic gifts during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

Enjoy several DAF benefits

  • 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 DAF works

  1. You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization
  2. The assets in your DAF grow tax-free
  3. You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF

Gifts from your DAF

Using a DAF has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to Union and other nonprofits. You can use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool to contact your DAF provider and make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
