WHAT IS A DONOR ADVISED FUND?
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic vehicle established at a public charity. To create one, a donor deposits cash, securities, and other assets in a fund then delegates how they are distributed. This is a great way for donors to make a charitable contribution and recommend grants from their DAF to causes important to them.
You may be able to easily support the Homes For Our Troops mission with a DAF grant from your existing fund by utilizing the DAF Direct widget below.
