 FAQs

  • A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is like a charitable investment account that makes giving simple and flexible. You contribute cash, stock, or other assets to your DAF and receive an immediate tax deduction. From there, you can recommend grants to nonprofits—like the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation—on your own timeline, either as one-time gifts or recurring donations.

    DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States because they are a simple, effective, tax-advantageous way to give.

    1. Open a DAF – You can establish a Donor-Advised Fund through your financial institution or a community foundation.

    2. Make a Contribution – Add cash, stock, or other assets to your DAF. You’ll receive an immediate tax deduction for your gift.

    3. Grow Your Giving – Contributions can be invested, allowing your charitable dollars to potentially grow tax-free over time.

    4. Recommend Grants – At any time, you can recommend grants from your DAF to nonprofits you care about, such as the Scott Hamilton CARES Foundation.

    With just a few steps, your DAF makes charitable giving simple, flexible, and impactful.
