A direct donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a philanthropic vehicle for individuals, families and businesses, providing a means to donate cash, publicly-traded stock, and, in some cases certain liquid assets, to a public charity. It allows the donor to make a charitable contribution to the Turner Syndrome Foundation and receive an immediate tax benefit.
Your Direct Donor Advised Fund makes it easy to give the gift of hope and a bright future to the girls and women who desperately need your help. You have already committed to providing long term support for your favorite charities by establishing a fund, but did you know that only 21.5 percent of the charitable contributions deposited in a donor advised fun are actually distributed to charity each year?
When you’re deciding how and what to contribute, be sure to consider all the options. Yes, you can always give cash, but making non-cash contributions may reduce your taxes, increase your charitable contributions, and be a smarter way to give.
