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

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

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are by far the most popular type of planned gift. We can help you add charity: water into your existing plans or, if you don’t have a will or trust, help you set one up at no cost to you.
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k)s or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
