Ways to Give
Streamline Your Giving
A charitable savings account that offers flexibility in how much and how often you give.
DAF Basics
A donor advised fund (DAF), similar to a charitable savings account, is a charitable giving account set up as a public charity, with the 501(c)(3) charity acting as the “sponsoring organization” that manages and oversees individual DAF accounts.
With a DAF, donors can make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to their chosen charities over time. This provides you with the flexibility to decide how much and how often funds are granted to Autism Life and Living and other eligible charities. You can recommend a one-time grant or set up recurring grants to make an immediate impact, or use your fund to support future charitable giving.
An Example of How It Works
Peter and Margaret want to make a meaningful impact in their hometown by directing their funds to where they’ll do the most good. They set up a $25,000 donor-advised fund with a community foundation.
The couple receives a federal income tax charitable deduction for their contribution, while gaining the time they need to thoughtfully choose the charities they wish to support.
After consulting with the foundation’s staff on community needs, Joe and Laura recommend grants to ALL (a cause they’ve supported for years) and a local animal shelter. The foundation distributes checks to the charities from the Patricia Fund, which they named in honor of Laura’s mother. They also designate ALL as the beneficiary to receive the remaining balance of the account after their lifetimes. Joe and Laura are thrilled to begin this lasting legacy of giving.
