Donor Advised Fund (DAF): Flexible Charitable Giving
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) offers strategic philanthropy by allowing you to:
Benefits include tax efficiency and donation flexibility, with the ability to support various nonprofits over time without immediate designation of specific charities.
Does your company offer a matching gifts/grants program for your donation? As a tax-exempt organization, FHS qualifies to participate in matching gifts/grants programs. Contact the administrator of the program at your company for the necessary form.
You can donate up to $108,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity like Freeport Historical Society without paying income taxes! This tax-efficient method, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), allows you to support meaningful causes while potentially reducing your tax liability.
Consult a financial advisor to explore how this strategy can benefit your charitable giving and tax planning.
