A Donor Advised Fund, or DAF, is an organized and easy way for donors to make charitable gifts. A DAF has the potential to help ADAA as we focus on research and treatments for anxiety disorders and depression. 

During your lifetime you can recommend a grant from your Donor Advised Fund to impact the lives of those struggling with these disorders. Think of it as your personal charitable checkbook. 

3 Easy Ways Steps

1. Open your DAF with a financial institution like Fidelity or Schwab
2. Contribute to the DAF and get an immediate tax refund
3. Recommend grants to your favorite organizations - like ADAA

You can make a gift at any time and receive an immediate tax benefit. Your gift is invested and grows tax-free.  ADAA offers an EFT option with many DAFs and trusts.

You can donate more than just cash. Donating cash is always easy, whether by check, bank wire or Electronic Funds Transfer. And when you donate cash, you can generally deduct up to 50% of your adjusted gross income. But cash isn't the only thing you can use to support ADAA. You can also donate a variety of other assets, including:

• Mutual fund shares
• Publicly traded stocks, including long-term appreciated securities
•  Wills and Living Trusts – secure a charitable estate-tax deduction for the value of the gift, and know that your generosity will support our mission for years to come.
• Retirement Plans – your retirement-plan benefits are likely a significant portion of your net worth, and because of special tax considerations, they could make an excellent choice for funding a charitable gift.
• Life insurance policies - life insurance itself can be the direct funding medium for a gift, permitting the donor to make a substantial gift (face value of policy) for a relatively modest annual outlay (i.e., the premium payment).
• Publicly traded bonds
• Appreciated Securities – gifts of long-term appreciated property can generate the most favorable tax benefits: a charitable deduction (in most cases) for the full fair-market value of the property plus avoidance of any potential capital-gain tax.
• Non-publicly traded assets, including private or restricted company stock and real estate
