What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable savings account with the flexibility to recommend grants to Macular Degeneration Research. Take advantage of favorable tax benefits, flexibility to support your favorite charities, and financial growth through invested, tax-free charitable contributions.
With a DAF, you give when you would like, receive immediate and maximum tax deductions allowed by the IRS, and recommend grants as you desire. DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and put you in control of your philanthropic endeavors.
How it Works
Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
- Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).
- Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice.
Support from our generous donors is our most powerful weapon against this disease. Through a DAF gift, you will join the fight alongside us, ensuring life-changing advancements continue by supporting visionary scientists as they search for a cure.
