Donor-advised fund

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.

Sponosoring Organization

A sponsoring organization is a 501(c)(3) public charity that sponsors a DAF program.

Benefitting Charities

Donors can then recommend grants over time to IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charities.

DAF DIRECT

DAF Direct providers include:

  • Fidelity Charitable
  • Schwab Charitable
  • BNY Mellon

If you have an existing account with any of these funds, DAF Direct makes it easy to recommend donations to Save The Music Foundation directly from your DAF.
