Change Lives with Your Donor Advised Fund

Donor-advised funds, or DAFs, are powerful tools for philanthropy. They allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax benefit, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

If you already have a Donor Advised Fund, Catholic Education Arizona invites you to consider how your Donor Advised Fund can make a lasting impact on the lives of students in need. Partner with us on DAF Day and recommend a grant from your Donor Advised Fund to open doors for students who might not otherwise have access to a Catholic education. 

Benefits of Giving from a Donor Advised Fund

  • Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving.
  • Benefit from a more tax and cost-efficient alternative to a private foundation.
  • Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift.

How a Donor Advised Fund Works

  1. You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a Donor Advised Fund at a sponsoring organization.
  2. The assets in your Donor Advised Fund grow tax-free.
  3. You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your Donor Advised Fund.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund, we encourage you to participate in DAF Day! A gift from your Donor Advised Fund to Catholic Education Arizona can transform lives, providing scholarships that change a child’s future.
