  • Give by Donor-Advised Fund

    What is a donor-advised fund?

    A donor-advised fund (DAF) is like a charitable savings account. When you make an irrevocable gift to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program, you get an immediate tax deduction and can recommend later how much and how often money is granted to F&M or other charities. 

    How does it work? 
    • Establish your DAF by making an irrevocable, tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program. 
    • Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free). 
    • Recommend grants to qualified public charities of your choice. 

    If you choose to recommend a grant to F&M from your DAF, please ask the sponsoring organization to send checks made payable to “Franklin & Marshall College” to one of the following addresses.
