What are the main advantages of a donor-advised fund?
- Simplicity: the donor-advised fund sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
- Flexibility: timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision-making.
- Tax-efficiency: contributions are tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It is also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, eliminating capital gains taxes.
- Family legacy: a DAF is a powerful way to build or continue a tradition of family philanthropy.
Grants made to CAMFED USA through Donor Advised Funds can be designated for CAMFED to use wherever the need is greatest or aligned with thematic areas that match our supporters’ interest.
When making a gift from your donor advised fund, will you assist our staff by letting us know who you are? Anonymous gifts may be less helpful because they often cannot be acknowledged or used in giving calculations.
CAMFED USA Foundation’s tax I.D. number is 54-2033897.
