What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably inclined individuals, families, and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly traded stock, and, in some cases, certain illiquid assets to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program, such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, and others.
