Maximizing the Benefits of Donor-Advised Funds

Available On Demand

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) have grown tremendously over the past decade, and play a major role in funding a variety of charitable causes. Much of this rapid growth has been driven by the low cost, flexibility and other advantages of DAFs over private foundations and other giving vehicles, but are there ways to get more value from using DAFs?  

During this webinar, three philanthropic experts will discuss several strategies for getting more value from donor-advised funds and other giving vehicles, which can ultimately increase funding, time available and focus to support charitable causes: 

  • When to use a donor-advised fund vs. a private foundation
  • How to convert a private foundation to a donor-advised fund
  • Strategies to maximize the tax benefits of using DAFs
  • Innovative giving vehicles, such as a flexible endowment and a restricted donor-advised fund
  • Engaging the next generation with charitable giving
