What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes.
Donor-advised funds can easily be set up through a community foundation or your financial institution. If you already have a donor-advised fund that participates in DAF Direct, you can recommend grants to support Habitat for Humanity directly below.
Reasons to choose a donor-advised fund
Why a DAF could be right for you:
- DAFs allows you to donate cash, stock and other assets as charitable gifts over several years.
- DAFs provide a flexible and easy method of giving if you support multiple charities.
- DAFs can be used to complement or replace a private foundation.
As with all gift planning, you should consult your financial adviser and lawyer to help you get started with recommending a grant to Habitat for Humanity. Your donor-advised fund gift to Habitat will help families in your community and around the world partner with us to build a better life starting with decent, affordable housing.
Trust and transparency
Your gift helps families build strength, stability and self-reliance through safe, affordable housing.
