DAFs have quickly become America’s most popular tool for charitable giving. DAFs are like your own private foundation but without any of the administrative red tape. One of the simplest ways to give real estate, stocks, mutual funds or commodities, DAFs offer an immediate tax deduction for the market value of your donation, but also allow you time to decide when you want to give. Administered through The Orchard Alliance, you will have 24/7 access to your DAF through Orchard’s state-of-the-art online DAF platform.
This platform allows you to login whenever and wherever you choose and make distributions in just a few clicks. DAFs offer the opportunity to create an easy-to-establish, low-cost, flexible vehicle for charitable giving as an alternative to direct giving or creating a private foundation.
At Denver Rescue Mission, we believe in the power of giving and the incredible difference it can make in the lives of those in need. We’re excited to introduce you to the world of Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs), a remarkable way to maximize your philanthropic impact while enjoying significant benefits.

What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund is your key to making a lasting impact on the causes you care about most. It’s a philanthropic account that allows you to contribute assets such as cash, stocks, or other investments while enjoying an immediate tax deduction. Once your contribution is made, the funds are invested, potentially growing over time. Then, you have the privilege of recommending grants to your favorite charitable organizations.
Benefits of a Donor-Advised Fund:
- Tax Benefits: When you contribute to a DAF, you receive an immediate tax deduction, which can be incredibly advantageous for your financial planning.
- Simplified Giving: A DAF streamlines the giving process, making it easy and efficient to support multiple charitable causes without the hassle of managing multiple donations.
- Investment Growth: Your contributions can grow through investments, allowing you to give more to the causes you’re passionate about.
- Privacy and Flexibility: If you desire, you can recommend grants anonymously, and you have the flexibility to give when and where it’s most meaningful to you.
