Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is like a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations, like Bethesda Health Group Foundation. When you contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund at a public charity, you are generally eligible to take an immediate tax deduction. Then those funds can be invested for tax-free growth, and you can recommend grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity, like Bethesda.
