A donor-advised fund (DAF) is the simplest way to make a big impact for donors making large contribution. It’s flexible, easy, and on your terms: choose the causes you care about, set your own timing, and keep everything in one convenient place. When giving is this simple, you can focus on what matters—making a difference.
