Gifts from your Donor-Advised Fund

A donor-advised fund is one of the easiest and best ways to give to the Grand Canyon Trust.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable savings account that makes supporting the Grand Canyon Trust tax-advantageous and flexible. Your DAF can come from investments of cash, appreciated securities, or other assets that the Trust may be unable to accept as direct gifts.

The details

  • A DAF can easily be set up through your financial institution or a community foundation.
  • You get an immediate tax benefit when you contribute to your DAF.
  • DAFs help make it easy to combine contributions to maximize your tax benefits and accelerate your giving power.
  • A DAF gives you the leeway to take your time deciding how to allocate the funds.
  • It’s simple to set up recurring DAF gifts to help us address the ongoing threats to public lands.
  • DAFs support your legacy planning. You can name the Grand Canyon Trust as a beneficiary of your DAF.
