A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a flexible charitable giving option administered by a third party, such as a community foundation or financial services company.
By contributing your appreciated securities to a DAF, rather than selling the securities first and then donating the cash, you eliminate capital gains tax on the sale of the stock.
A DAF allows you to support ECFS immediately or over time, offers you some ability to manage your tax situation through giving, and can be relatively inexpensive to create and maintain. To learn more about donor-advised funds and/or set up a DAF, please visit the American Endowment Foundation’s website here. You can recommend a grant using this DAF Direct Link from Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, or BNY Mellon, or consult your financial advisor.
If you have any questions about setting up a donor-advised fund or making a gift via a donor-advised fund, please contact Stephanie Pilla, Associate Director of Leadership Giving and Strategic Engagements, at [email protected] or 212-712-6242.
