Donor Advised Funds

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. You can establish a DAF through your local community foundation or other financial services institutions. If you have a DAF, you can make gifts to Scenic Hudson through this vehicle by recommending one through the DAF’s sponsoring organization.

DAFdirect is a tool that allows you to make a gift directly through your DAF, as long as your DAF’s sponsoring organization is participating (see the dropdown menu for a list of organizations.)
