What is a donor advised fund?
A donor advised fund (DAF) allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support Sierra Club Foundation and other public charities through cash, appreciated securities, and other assets. DAFs allow you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from your DAF account over time to the nonprofits you wish to support.
Please note that the Sierra Club Foundation does not provide tax or legal advice. Speak with your professional tax or legal advisor with questions about donor advised funds and gifts to the Sierra Club Foundation.
