Donor Advised Fund

You can use a donor advised fund (DAF) to distribute gifts to Marist, as well as other charities. With a DAF, a donor can make gifts to Marist during their lifetime, and when they pass away, their children can carry on their legacy of giving.

Flowchart: Donor transfers stock or cash to a donor advised fund and the donor advised fund makes charitable distributions.

Benefits of a donor advised fund

  • 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 donor advised fund 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 donor advised fund

Your donor advised fund has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to Marist and other nonprofits. Please use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool at the top of the page to contact your DAF provider and make a grant to Marist. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
