How a DAF Can Work for You
-
Imagine yourself putting $25,000 into a DAF with a community foundation.
-
This yields you 1) a federal income tax charitable deduction and 2) allows you ample time to deliberate on beneficiary charities.
-
After a consultation with the foundation’s experts, you designate Minnehaha Academy and a local shelter for unhoused persons in Minneapolis as grant recipients.
-
“Your Fund” subsequently issues checks to the designated charities.
-
Finally, you designate Minnehaha Academy as the long-term beneficiary of the fund’s balance, laying the cornerstone for a personal legacy of giving.
By following a methodical approach, similar to what’s outlined above, you too can maximize the impact of your charitable giving with Minnehaha Academy!
