A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a smart and flexible way to support the Maryland Food Bank and other causes you care about; think of it as a charitable savings account that lets you make a greater impact, on your schedule
How a Donor-Advised Fund Works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to establish a DAF at a sponsoring financial organization.
- Your DAF assets grow tax-free, allowing you to give more over time.
- You recommend gifts to be made from your DAF to support nonprofits of your choice, when the time is right for you.
Why Give Through Your DAF?
Your donor-advised fund offers several advantages to you as an efficient alternative to a private foundation, including the flexibility of giving on your schedule. You can make one larger gift to a DAF when it’s most convenient, then recommend grants to the Maryland Food Bank and other nonprofits later.
