A donor-advised fund (DAF) may help you extend that impact even further. A DAF enables you to make charitable contributions now and qualify for a tax deduction, while recommending grants to your favorite charities on your own timeline. Over time, your fund may grow, creating even more dollars to give. Explore whether a DAF is right for you. ⬇️
