Understanding Your DAF
A DAF is a charitable giving vehicle administered by a public charity. It allows you to:
- Make a charitable contribution: You can donate cash, appreciated securities, or other assets to your DAF.
- Receive an immediate tax deduction: You get a deduction for your contribution in the year it’s made.
- Recommend grants over time: The funds are invested and grow tax-free, allowing you to recommend grants to The Shadow Project and other qualified charities on your own timeline.
Why use your donor-advised fund for The Shadow Project?
Your DAF grant directly fuels our programs like Reading Mentors, Goal Setting, and SuperSensory Spaces, helping K-8 students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and trauma build critical skills and confidence. It’s a powerful way to maximize your impact.
