Give Smarter With a DAF

Published on Oct 10, 2024

A donor advised fund can increase your giving capacity and simplify donations.

Give Smarter With a DAF

Long-time supporters like Barbara and her partner, Dee, have been using their donor advised fund (DAF), Roots & Wings Fund, to direct donations since 2002. DAFs are powerful tools for charitable giving, offering flexibility and tax advantages similar to 401(k) retirement accounts. As a feminist funder, the Astraea Lesbian Foundation advocates for using your DAF to fund projects centering the liberation of lesbian, bisexual, and queer women and trans, gender non-conforming, and intersex people. This emerging type of fund provides flexibility and tax incentives for you, while providing the Astraea Foundation and our movements with reliable income and support, similar to multi-year pledges.
