What is a DAF?

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, tax-efficient way to maximize your support of the causes you care about most. 

With a DAF, you can:

  • Make a tax-deductible contribution now of cash, stock or other appreciate assets. 
  • Grow your giving – contributions are invested and grow tax-free over time while they’re in the account.
  • Do all of your giving from one account, whenever you’re inspired to give.

At CFMT, we offer DAFs as a powerful tool to help donors deepen their impact and get more connected to the community.

Why do donors choose a DAF?

  • It makes giving easier – you have all of your charitable dollars in one place. 
  • It makes giving more strategic – you can plan ahead while still supporting urgent needs. 
  • It makes giving more impactful – your invested dollars can grow, creating even more resources for the future. 

At its core, a DAF gives you the tools to be a smarter, more intentional philanthropist – with the flexibility to give when inspiration strikes or when opportunities arise.
