What is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic vehicle established at a public charity that allows donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund to public charities of their choice over time.

How Does it Work?

1. Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.

2. Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free).

3. Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice. 

3 Easy Steps to Using Your DAF to Support Holy Family

1. Contact your representative at your DAF and recommend a grant of a specific amount be sent from your fund to the Holy Family Resilience Fund - or to one of our other ministries.

2. Use the DAF Direct Widget below to recommend grants directly from your DAF at Fidelity, Schwab or BNY Mellon to Holy Family.

3. Please email Dawn Fleming, Director of Donor Relations and Planned Giving, at dfleming@holyfamilyretreat.org to alert us that your gift is on the way.
