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.
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.
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.
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.
When making a DAF gift to ACU-USA, please provide the following information
to your administrator:
African Christian University USA.
26600 Telegraph Rd. suite 101
Southfield, Mi 48033
Attn: Tim Connor, Treasurer
Tax ID# 27-0385813
