Your charitable dollars are ready to make a difference.

If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you've already set aside money to support causes you believe in.

Recommending a grant to Methodist Hospital Foundation is one way to put those dollars to work, providing compassionate care, expanding access to essential health services and creating opportunities for the next generation of health care professionals.

What Is a DAF?

Think of a DAF as a charitable investment account with the sole purpose of supporting your philanthropic goals.

Contribute assets like cash, securities and non-publicly traded assets to your DAF.
Recommend grants from the fund to your favorite charities.
Watch your account balance continue to grow tax-free over time.

Contributing to a DAF allows you to receive an immediate tax deduction, even if you don't recommend grants to charities right away. This can be helpful if you have a large sum of money you want to donate but aren't sure yet how to allocate it.
If you donate to multiple charities, a DAF could also make tax receipting much simpler. You receive a tax benefit for the donations to the DAF (one account) versus managing all of the receipts from the organizations.

Naming your children as DAF advisors or successor advisors can be a great way to teach them about your philanthropic values and the importance of giving back.
Beyond that, you can name your DAF as a beneficiary of your will or estate. This will ensure that your remaining assets are used to support the causes you care about after you're gone.

Contributions to a DAF are irrevocable — even though you, the donor, maintain the right to direct those funds. Grants must go to a valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization recognized by the IRS. No grants to individuals are allowed.

If you work with a financial advisor, use them as a starting point. Most financial services have charitable arms for DAF accounts. Be sure to ask about any administrative and investment fees. Omaha Community Foundation is also an excellent resource to find information on DAFs and how to make a local impact with your giving.
