A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account that donors can use to support charitable organizations. Donors can give cash, securities, or other assets to a DAF and qualify for a charitable contribution income tax deduction. DAF assets are invested and donors can recommend grants at any time from the DAF to any qualified 501(c)3 public charity, including Lewis & Clark.
