About this episode

This episode explores the basics of Donor Advised Funds and their benefits for charitable giving.

In this episode, we break down the basics of Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)—a powerful charitable giving tool that lets you take a tax deduction now while giving to your favorite ministries or charities over time. You’ll learn how a DAF works, why it’s often more blessed to give than receive (Acts 20:35), and how you can contribute various assets, invest the balance, and recommend grants when you’re ready. We’ll cover the key advantages, common drawbacks, and the wide range of assets you can contribute—from cash and stocks to real estate and even business interests. If you’re looking for a way to streamline your giving, reduce taxes, and create a family legacy of generosity, this episode will show you how a DAF can serve your mission. Tune in to learn the basics and discover whether a Donor Advised Fund is right for you.
