A donor-advised fund is a convenient way to support Atrium Health.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a personal charitable checking account, for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations you care about, like Atrium Health.
When you contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, like Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or your local community foundation you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction.
Donor-advised funds are tax-efficient and convenient charitable tools. You contribute to your DAF on your own schedule and recommend grants to as many IRS-qualified public charities in the United States, as you choose, in your own time.
Benefits of a donor advised fund:
- Easy to establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving
- Easy to use – online access for grant recommendations
- Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift
- The DAF advisor receives recognition, just like a direct gift
