A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable savings account with the flexibility to recommend grants to Macular Degeneration Research (MDR). It allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities and put your charitable contributions in an account where they can be invested and grow tax free.
With a DAF, you give when you would like, receive immediate and maximum tax deductions allowed by the IRS, and recommend grants as you desire. DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and put you in control of your philanthropic endeavors.
-
- Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program
- Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free)
