Donor Advised Funds 

Here’s how Donor Advised Funds (DAF) Work:

You can take a one-time charitable tax deduction when you create a Donor Advised Fund through an organization such as Greater Tacoma Community Foundation (www.gtcf.org), or private investment firms such as Fidelity Charitable, or Schwab Charitable.

There are three steps in creating a DAF:

  1. Open and account and contribute.

  2. Invest in one or more investment pools within these organizations or recommend an investment advisor to manage your account.

  3. Recommend grants to qualified U.S. public charities such as Museum of Glass at any time.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund through Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or BNY Mellon, you can connect with your fund by clicking on the DAF Direct Widget, which takes you safely and securely to your Donor Advised Fund manager, and donate directly from our website.
