The Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is one of the fastest-growing charitable vehicles available to individuals and families. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is that it doesn’t require the same back office, administrative, and payout requirements as a private foundation.
Whatever charitable vehicle you use, the same degree of thoughtful and knowledgeable support is needed to ensure the greatest impact on your charitable gifts.
With many DAF providers, you may be able to use your DAF assets to pay for professional philanthropic services that support your charitable goals. Strategic Philanthropy, Ltd. has been pre-approved by most major DAF sponsors to provide these services, allowing fees to be paid directly from your DAF account—subject to the sponsoring organization’s guidelines and approval.
