Using Donor-Advised Fund

Many donors open a Donor-Advised Fund not only for tax-saving benefits, but to turn their non-cash assets into useable, philanthropic funds. Through your Donor-Advised Fund you can directly recommend grants to ACU-USA.

What Is A Donor-Advised Fund?

Think of a Donor-Advised Fund or “DAF” as a charitable savings account. You receive an immediate tax benefit once you've established your DAF and then can make grant recommendations over time to ACU-USA.

HOW DOES DAF WORK?

You can easily support ACU-USA by simply advising your DAF administrator to make a distribution in whatever amount you choose. Since donors receive an income tax deduction at the time they contribute to their DAF, there is no additional charitable deduction when making annual or periodic gifts to ACU- USA through your DAF.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO PUT MY DAF DOLLARS TO WORK?

Many individuals are not aware that as part of their estate planning they can also name ACU-USA as a beneficiary of the remaining funds in their DAF. As different DAFs have their own process and forms for accomplishing this unique bequeathing option, we advise you to ask your DAF administrator for specific instructions.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES MY DAF ADMINISTRATOR NEED?

When making a DAF gift to ACU-USA, please provide the following information to your administrator:
