Donor advised funds at Central Florida Foundation allow you to enjoy giving without any of the administrative burden. Establish a fund or contribute to your existing fund, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants over time.
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and streamlined way to organize your charitable giving. Enjoy recommending grants to your favorite causes over time while CFF takes care of all the administrative burden that can complicate charitable giving on your own. Read through these DAF FAQs, and reach out to our team if you have more questions.
You can contribute cash, appreciated securities (such as stock), real estate, and other assets, including from a private foundation. You cannot give qualified charitable distributions from your IRA to your DAF, however there are other fund structures for this type of contribution. Contact our team to discuss your options.
It can be done same day! If you're ready, we're ready. Contact our team to get started.
