Donor-Advised Funds

Make the most of your impact by giving to As Our Own through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF).

About Donor-Advised Funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a flexible giving vehicle that allows you to make a charitable gift, take an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants over time to the missions and communities you care about. When you contribute to your As Our Own DAF, your gift starts working right away—while granting happens on your timeline.

Why Use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

Tax Efficiency
Enjoy an immediate tax deduction for your contribution—even before deciding where your funds go.

Tax-Free Growth
Invest your gift tax‑free, so it has the potential to grow and support even more impact.

Simplified Giving
Centralize your charitable activity through one fund—one donation, one receipt, one place to manage your giving.

Flexible Timing
Give when it’s convenient—grant when you’re ready. Make it a one-time gift, set up recurring grants, or take time to craft your philanthropic strategy.

Asset Versatility
Donate cash, appreciated stocks, mutual funds, real estate, cryptocurrency, or other assets—potentially avoiding capital gains taxes and maximizing the value of your gift.

Legacy Planning
Incorporate your DAF into your legacy by naming successors or charities to continue your giving after you’re gone, ensuring a lasting impact.

How does a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) work?

1. Give — Make a one-time or recurring gift via cash, securities, or other assets to fund your DAF. You’ll receive a tax receipt immediately.

‍2. Grow — Your donation is invested tax‑free, potentially increasing the impact of your gift over time.

‍3. Grant — At your pace, whether it's now or later, you direct grants from your fund to support As Our Own or other eligible charitable causes. It’s giving with flexibility and purpose.
