Donor Advised Funds

How do Donor-Advised Funds work?

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is one way to support organizations like Orange County Rape Crisis Center (OCRCC). You have the ability to contribute cash, securities or other assets to the fund, where your donation can be invested and grow tax-free. You receive an immediate tax deduction and can recommend grants to OCRCC over time. 

DAFs can be established through community foundations, the public charity arm of financial services companies, and other entities. Examples include Vanguard, Fidelity, Raymond James, DAFgiving360 (Schwab Charitable), North Carolina Community Foundation, and Triangle Community Foundation. For more information on how to establish a DAF, contact your community foundation or financial advisor.
