What is a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)?

A DAF is a personalized charitable account that allows you flexibly make donations and recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits. Endaoment DAFs also allow you to grow DAF capital through investment portfolios and collaborate with trusted advisors and family members on your DAF. There is no minimum required to open a fund, and the more you donate, the lower your one time processing fee.
