Donor Advised Fund
A donor advised fund (or DAF) might be a great solution for you. You can use a DAF to distribute gifts to numerous charities. With a DAF, you can make gifts to charity during your lifetime, and when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
You enjoy several benefits with your donor advised fund
- Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving
- Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation
- Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift
How a donor advised fund works
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF
- Your DAF provider sends the grant to:
Minnesota State University, Mankato Foundation
126 Alumni & Foundation Center
Mankato MN 56001
Gifts from your donor advised fund
Your donor advised fund has several advantages. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to the Minnesota State University, Mankato Foundation. You can use the "Make a Gift From My DAF" tool to contact your DAF provider and make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
Most DAFs also allow donors to recommend charities that will receive any remaining fund assets after they have passed away. If you would like Minnesota State University, Mankato to receive all or a portion of the remainder of your DAF, please contact your DAF administrator.
