The Power of Donor Advised Funds

Big Picture Retirement

If you regularly donate to your church or other charities, donor advised funds (DAFs) might be something you want to look into. These funds offer some big perks. First off, you get a potential tax deduction in the year you contribute, even if the money is given out to charities gradually. Secondly, you have the freedom to decide when to donate. This means if you're facing a high tax bill one year, you can contribute more to your DAF and then distribute it to your chosen causes over time. In today’s episode, we’ll explore how DAFs work and discuss a potential change that could affect them.
