Donor-Advised Fund
Are you looking for a way to benefit The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas both now and in the future? Would you like to simplify your annual and lifetime charitable giving?
A donor-advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. You can also use a DAF to distribute gifts to numerous charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charity during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
Benefits of a donor-advised fund
- Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving
- Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation
- Receive an estate tax deduction and savings from your gift
- Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift
How a donor-advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at The Methodist Foundation for Arkansas.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
- When you pass away, your children may recommend charitable gifts from your DAF.
More on donor-advised funds
A donor-advised fund has several advantages when compared to a private foundation. The start-up time and cost are minimal for DAFs, and gifts to DAFs are generally deductible at fair market value. A DAF is also not subject to the distribution requirements and certain excise taxes faced by private foundations.
Make A Grant from Your DAF
A grant from your DAF can help support our efforts this year. Contact your DAF administrator and recommend that a grant be made in any amount to support our cause. Your gifts make a difference. Join in our mission and help us continue our important work.
