Donor Advised Funds (DAF)
A DAF is a separately managed philanthropic fund maintained and operated by a sponsoring organization, such as Vanguard, Fidelity, or Schwab. Once established by a donor, they (or a designated representative) can direct how funds are invested and distributed to various charities. A donor-advised fund offers a low-cost, flexible method to diversify your philanthropy without the complexities and expenses of creating a private foundation.
