A donor-advised fund (DAF) acts like a philanthropic savings account. With a DAF, you get both tax benefits and the flexibility to recommend gift amount and frequency to your favorite nonprofits-like the Schwartz Center. Your financial advisor can help you learn how to set up a donor-advised fund.

Simple: The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts, while you avoid the cost and complexities of managing a private foundation. And there are no transaction fees, meaning 100% of your gift goes to the Schwartz Center.

Flexible: The timing of your tax deduction can be separate from your charitable decision making.

Benefits: Contributions are tax deductible and your investments in a DAF can appreciate tax free. You receive an immediate income tax deduction in the year you contribute to your DAF. Additionally, your DAF will not be subject to estate taxes.

Legacy: To continue your support after your lifetime, you can name the Schwartz Center as a beneficiary to receive a portion of your DAF. The remaining balance can be managed by your loved ones to continue your legacy of giving.

A gift designation allows donors to specify how their donation should be used at the non-profit. You can restrict your giving to a specific fund like the Stanzler Open Doors Fund or the Dr. Beth Lown Innovation Fund. Or you can make an unrestricted gift to the Schwartz Center Annual Fund, which gives us the flexibility to direct your donation to the areas of greatest need and opportunity in support of our mission.
