Donor-advised Funds

Easily recommend grants to charity: water for tax-efficient giving.

About donor-advised funds

A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows individuals to make charitable contributions and receive an immediate tax deduction. The funds are managed by a DAF custodian and the donor can recommend grants to their preferred nonprofit organizations.

Donors can contribute to the fund over time and recommend grants to charities at their discretion, providing flexibility in their giving strategy.

Benefits

  • Retain the flexibility to make grant recommendations over time
  • Receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to your fund
  • Make an immediate impact in ending the water crisis

How it works

  1. Prepare your grant request by providing the necessary information about charity: water to your donor-advised fund (DAF) provider.
  2. Submit the grant request, specifying the amount you wish to donate and any additional details.
  3. Once approved, your DAF provider distributes the funds to charity: water on your behalf.
