Donor Advised Funds
Creating a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) may be a good option for individuals seeking both tax benefits and control over future donations. A DAF is a 501(c)(3) charitable fund that can receive irrevocable charitable gifts from you (as the donor), and you retain control over both the timing of distributions and the organizations to which donations are made.
One of the main benefits of establishing a DAF is that you can make a single large contribution of cash, stock, or other assets to the DAF and receive a federal income tax deduction in the current year, while distributing assets to charities over several years.
