Frequently Asked Questions
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account managed by a sponsoring organization (such as community foundation); these funds are dedicated to supporting the nonprofits you value. When you donate cash, securities, or other assets to a DAF, you typically qualify for an immediate tax deduction. The contributed funds can then be invested for tax-free growth, allowing you to suggest grants to any eligible IRS-qualified public charity.
You can make direct contributions that provide valuable support to Chrysalis and help further our mission. Visit our Ways to Give page to explore various ways you can contribute and make a positive impact today.
Unfortunately, federal law prohibits the receipt of material benefits (such as, but not limited to, meals, drinks, or door prizes) in exchange for a charitable donation. As such, DAF grants cannot be used to pay for any portion of a ticket to attend an event or to cover the cost of an event table. Contact your fund provider for further information and clarification of IRS rules.
A grant from a Donor Advised Fund may fulfill a commitment to a 501(c)(3) public charity. However, Treasury and the IRS prohibit using the term “pledge” on grant checks or related correspondence. Instead, the donor should reference a “donation” or “gift.”
