Donor Advised Funds

Donor-advised funds (DAF) are like a charitable savings account designated for philanthropy. A financial institution or financial advisor can easily set them up for you. For specific details, contact your bank or financial advisor.  

DAFs are frequently used for several reasons:

• Easy way to turn your portfolio into an impactful gift
• Eliminate capital gains on donated stock. Giving accounts have the potential to grow, possibly providing additional funding when you are ready to make a gift.
• Easy way to make recurring gifts
• Put your charitable dollars into action supporting those dealing with a breast cancer diagnosis in the Capital Region.

Qualified Charitable Distributions

If you’re 70-1/2 or older, you can donate up to $108,000 per tax year directly from an Individual Retirement Account.

Qualified Charitable Distributions are IRA charitable rollovers or IRA gifts, and are a great way to support To Life!. They may be excluded from your taxable income and qualify towards your required minimum distribution.

Your IRA administrator can easily provide you with details and make the donation
