The Department of the Treasury recently released an anticipated report mandated by Congress on Donor Advised Funds (DAF) and Supporting Organizations.
- DAFs will continue to enjoy higher charitable income tax deductions compared to private foundations.
- DAFs will not be subject to the minimum 5% annual distribution compared to private foundations. In fact DAFs distribute over 9% annually.
How does this affect You?
- DAFs let you create a private foundation alternative without the cost or headaches.
- DAFs give you the ability to perpetuate your giving across multiple generations.
- DAFs enable you to give anonymously and to multiple charities.
- DAFs start at $25,000 at Legacy Fund. You need about $5 million to make a private foundation cost-effective.
- DAFs can be funded with cash, appreciated securities, real estate or other assets.
