Donor Advised Funds

Long Live Your Values

Together, we are creating brighter futures and advancing equity across our community. 

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about. Whether you're making an immediate gift or planning your future charitable impact, a DAF can help you create opportunities for women, girls, and families through YWCA Minneapolis. 

  • Simplify Your Giving

    Think of a donor-advised fund as a charitable savings account that allows you to recommend grants to YWCA Minneapolis and other nonprofit organizations whenever it's right for you. 

    With a DAF, you can: 

    • Recommend a one-time grant or set up recurring grants 

    • Manage your charitable giving in one place 

    • Create a long-term charitable giving strategy 

  • Ways to Fund a Donor-Advised Fund

    You can contribute a variety of assets to your donor-advised fund, including: 

    • Cash 

    • Appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds 

    • Privately held business interests or real estate 

    Many donors choose to contribute appreciated assets because they may receive tax benefits while maximizing their charitable impact. Consult with your financial or tax advisor to determine the best approach for you.

What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account established through a sponsoring organization, such as a financial institution or community foundation. Examples include Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, the Minneapolis Foundation, and the Women's Foundation of Minnesota.

When you contribute to a DAF, you make an irrevocable charitable gift and may be eligible for an immediate tax deduction. You can then recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations over time, including YWCA Minneapolis.
