Donor Advised Funds (DAF)

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) allow donors to give cash, stock, and other assets where the donor receives an immediate tax deduction when the contribution is made but can grant specified amounts to the charities of their choice at a later time.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund, DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to Beverly Bootstraps, directly from your DAF (as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating).

So, 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 the charities you support, with the option of being recognized or remaining anonymous.

Value of Your Gift of Stock

Planned Gifts

Because financial situations vary from person to person, no single approach to planned giving is applicable across the board. Estate plans can be tailored to fit a wide variety of purposes and financial profiles. Generally speaking, a planned gift can:

  • Create an estate that provides current and future financial security
  • Maximize the amount of assets that will pass to heirs and beneficiaries
  • Protect as much income from federal taxes as is allowed by law
  • Provide continued, meaningful support for the charities that have been important throughout a person’s lifetime

Planned giving requires careful discussions with your financial planner, accountant, attorney or other qualified professional. We strongly encourage our donors to never try to create a planned giving strategy without professional advice.
