Donor advised funds (DAFs) support and encourage philanthropy, providing assistance to charities throughout the world. Fidelity Charitable reported that in 2023, they distributed a record-setting $11.8 billion to nonprofits, making a significant impact on charitable organizations worldwide. The average grant amount was $4,625, with an average of 11.8 grants per donor per year. As awareness of DAFs has increased, both individual and corporate donors are giving to more nontraditional nonprofits they find on their own. This new level of giving via donor advised funds has prompted the IRS to propose a new rule which would impose a 20% excise tax on some donors. The rule would apply to donors who receive a direct benefit from their gifts to DAFs. The public comment period on the proposed rule closes today. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about donor advised funds and whether they may be an appropriate strategy to incorporate into your personal financial and charitable planning. #FidelityCharitable #GivingBack #Philanthropy #Charity #Nonprofits #DonorAdvisedFunds Note: This post is provided for general education only.

As Charitable Giving Grows, So Do Services for Donors Who Want Evidence that Their Money Is Having an Impact From a 2007 WSJ article & Still Very Applicable 16 Years Later “Donors can readily compare charities from a financial perspective: how much an organization spends on administrative costs or fund raising, for instance. But givers, especially younger, business-minded ones, now tend to want more information on how successful a charity’s programs are in addressing the issues the charity sets out to resolve…” The article goes on to debate methodology. I posit that simply making a commitment to communicating your ROI – however you do it – is imperative – even if only (in some cases) it can only be done anecdotally. The challenge (currently) is not how we evaluate and communicate impact but if. I advise clients to send out quarterly bank (impact) statements to investors. These ‘bank statements’ include total number of lives saved/impacted, families served, and other stats. The statement then outlines ‘your investment results’. Pretty cool, pretty powerful and pretty effective in demonstrating how money is having an impact.

When you’re planning to set aside resources for charity, establishing a tax-advantaged giving vehicle can be a smart move. The two most common vehicles are donor-advised funds and private foundations. 🔥 A DAF is a tax-deductible financial account for charitable giving. Donors can make charitable contributions of cash or assets into their account, receiving tax advantages immediately. Then, they can “recommend” the money to be granted to operating charities at any time. Money in the account can also be invested tax-free. 👉 A private foundation, unlike a donor-advised fund, is its own charitable entity. It requires approval from the IRS to form, and doing so involves establishing a board of directors, setting up governance practices, and complying with regulations and tax filing requirements. Private foundations are ideal for donors seeking to explore alternative investments and distribute grants to individuals on a larger scale. On the other hand, DAFs are a great option if you prioritize minimal administration, low costs, privacy, and income tax benefits - while still giving to your favorite public charities.

Staying on the topic of ways to amplify your charitable planning... In contrast with my previous post, there are more convenient ways to give. There are charitable giving accounts maintained and operated by section 501(c)(3) organizations. Individuals can make irrevocable contributions which are pooled with other contributions that are then controlled and invested and maintained by the sponsor. This way of giving includes benefits that rival Private Foundations such as: not having a required payout, ability to give anonymously, little to no oversight or administration requirements. On the flipside, there is much less control, freedom, and flexibility surrounding grantmaking, asset and investment contributions as well as fewer opportunities for legacy planning. #charitabledonations #wealthmanagement
