A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a separately identified account set up through a public foundation operating as a Canadian registered charity. Once the donor makes the receiptable contribution, the foundation has control over it, but the donor, or the donor’s representative, retains advisory privileges with respect to the distribution of funds to other charities of their choice.
Give now, receive your donation receipt immediately and take some time to decide how your gift should be distributed to your favourite charities.
Set up a fund now that will receive proceeds or bequests from your estate. You can leave clear intentions about ministries and charities who will benefit from your fund, or it can be managed by anyone you choose. Distributions to your chosen charities can be made in the short or long term.
