Donor Advised Funds Explained

In this video, estate planning attorney Daniel Van Slyke explains Donor Advised Funds or DAFs as an option for charitable giving. The video breaks down the key roles in a DAF: the Donor, the Sponsor, and the charities who benefit from the DAF.

The video closes with a brief comparison of DAFs with Private Foundations or Charitable Foundations. Administrative ease, cost, and superior tax advantages may recommend DAFs over Private Foundations for some Donors. However, those planning larger contributions who would like to maintain more control over their charitable giving during and after their lifetimes may prefer Private Foundations.
