Donor Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a powerful way to support Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County during your lifetime and help your children carry on your legacy of giving after you are gone.

Flowchart: Donor transfers stock or cash to a donor advised fund and the donor advised fund makes charitable distributions.

How to give from your donor advised fund

If you already have a fund, use our "Make a Gift from My DAF" tool to connect with your DAF provider and recommend a grant to Catholic Charities.

Three simple ways to give

  1. Make an outright gift now by recommend a grant to Catholic Charities.
  2. Set up recurring grants to provide year-round support with ease.
  3. Create a succession plan to recommend that Catholic Charities receive all or a portion of the fund value upon termination of the fund. With a percentage, you can also build a family legacy by naming one or more successors advisors to continue recommending grants that support our mission.

You can choose the option that best aligns with your philanthropic and financial goals to support Catholic Charities. Just contact your DAF administrator to recommend a grant to Catholic Charities or to discuss a succession plan.
