Each DAF provider has different fees, minimums, and other rules, but with each type, whether at a commercial provider or community foundation, you can contribute to your fund over time and recommend grants at your discretion, providing flexibility to your giving strategy.
Additional benefits of using a DAF include:
- Ability to set up recurring annual, quarterly, or monthly grants
- Option to name successor donor advisors (such as children or grandchildren)
- All or part of your DAF’s balance can be gifted to a charitable beneficiary like WHE as part of your estate planning.
