Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. You can use a DAF to distribute gifts to numerous charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charity during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
If you have simplified your annual and lifetime charitable giving by creating a donor advised fund, you can make a grant to Brethren in Christ U.S. today. A donor advised fund (or DAF) grant will make an impact to Brethren in Christ U.S..
Benefits of a donor advised fund
- Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving
- Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation
- Maximize your impact using a DAF grant for your gift

How a donor advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
- When you pass away, your children may recommend charitable gifts from your DAF.
Gifts from your donor advised fund
A donor advised fund has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to Brethren in Christ U.S. and other nonprofits. A DAF is not subject to the distribution requirements and certain excise taxes faced by private foundations. You can use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool to contact your DAF provider and make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
