What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving savings account administered by an external party that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with flexibility to support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals. You can make one larger gift to a DAF and then recommend grants to Rollins College and other nonprofits.
How do donor-advised funds work?
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization—often a financial institution.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF to your favorite charities.
Why choose to support Rollins College through your donor-advised fund?
When you make a charitable contribution to Rollins through your donor-advised fund, you invest in the personal, transformative experiences and opportunities that make a Rollins education distinctive while recommending support to the areas of the College that matter most to you. Your DAF gift can support the Rollins Annual Fund, scholarships and financial aid, athletics, or another area of your choice.
You can use the “DAF Direct” tool on this page or contact your DAF provider directly to make a grant. We will acknowledge your generous gift as a DAF distribution.
If you would like to make a gift to Rollins through a DAF sponsor not found on DAF Direct, please ask your DAF provider to share your contact information for proper acknowledgment and note where you would like to designate your donation.
