What are the main advantages of a donor-advised fund?

• Simplicity: the donor-advised fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
• Flexibility: timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision-making.
• Tax-efficiency: contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes.
• Family legacy: a DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.
