What Is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment account designed to help you contribute money to the organizations you care most about, such as the American Battlefield Trust.

How It Works

When you contribute cash, stocks, real estate, or other assets to a sponsoring institution, you will receive an immediate tax deduction. The sponsoring institution will help you invest your funds, which grow tax-free. You can then recommend donations — on your timeline — to eligible IRS-qualified public charities like the American Battlefield Trust.

You can choose to be leader in battlefield preservation by easily establishing regular, recurring grants from your Donor Advised Fund. The need for preserving hallowed ground never ceases!

Benefits to You

DAFs allow you to consolidate various assets into one philanthropic fund for greater impact. Your funds and record keeping are centralized, keeping it easy and streamlined. In addition, you control when it makes the most financial sense to take advantage of tax deductions by contributing to your DAF. And you also retain the control and flexibility to respond immediately to funding requests from mission’s you love as you see fit.

Your Legacy

The final distribution of contributions remaining in a DAF are governed by the contract you complete when creating your fund. We hope you will consider naming the American Battlefield Trust as a beneficiary of your account. Or, you can name us as the beneficiary of a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your heirs to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
