Gifts from Donor-Advised Funds

During your lifetime, you can recommend a gift from your donor-advised fund — or DAF — to support the efforts of ADL.

Use Your DAF to Create Your Legacy of Philanthropy

When you create your DAF or update your succession plans, please consider naming ADL as a beneficiary of funds remaining after your lifetime.

You may even designate ADL to receive a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children or grandchildren to continue your legacy of philanthropy.

If you choose to designate ADL as a beneficiary, would you please let us know? We would like to recognize you for your generosity and ensure that your gift is used as you intend.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about setting up your legacy gift or if you need more information.

6 ways you can make an impact with your donor-advised fund

Memorialize, honor, or commemorate a loved one or an event.

Avoid capital gains by first transferring appreciated stock to your DAF and then gifting it in minutes.

Teach your loved ones about charity and why you believe in giving back.

Build a sense of community (and make a bigger impact) by forming “giving circles” with other donor-advised fund owners including friends and family members.

Bundle your charitable gifts (doing so could result in an opportunity to itemize your deductions in the same year).

Leave all or a portion of your account to charity simply by changing your beneficiary designation.

We hope you will consider naming ADL as a beneficiary of your account. You may even designate ADL to receive a portion of the account value, leaving the remaining portion for your children or grandchildren to continue your legacy of philanthropy.
