Donor Advised Funds

Support Your Charitable Giving with a Donor Advised Fund at the Gila Community Foundation

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a flexible, tax-advantaged way to support the causes you care about while maximizing your philanthropic impact. At the Gila Community Foundation, we make it simple to establish and manage a DAF, so you can focus on making a difference in southwest New Mexico and beyond.

What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor Advised Fund is like having a personal charitable giving account. You contribute to your fund with tax-deductible donations and recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits over time. Here’s why donors choose DAFs:

  • Tax Benefits: Receive an immediate tax deduction for your contribution, even if you distribute grants in the future.
  • Flexibility: Support multiple nonprofits on your own timeline.
  • Ease of Use: The Gila Community Foundation handles the administrative work, so you can focus on giving.
  • Investment Growth: Your contributions can grow tax-free, increasing your ability to give more over time.
