A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that gives you the most favorable tax benefits and the ability to support your favorite causes. If you have a donor advised fund, you can recommend grants from your DAF to Equitas Health with DAF Direct(as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating).
How does it work?
Set up your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax deductible gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program. Tell the DAF how you would like to invest your gift (any investment growth is tax-free). Recommend grants to the charities you support with the option to remain anonymous.
Please talk to your personal financial planner to see if supporting Equitas Health with a DAF is the right choice for you, or call our Development office at (614) 340-6721 to learn more.
