A donor-advised fund, or DAF, is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. 

Donor-advised funds can easily be set up through a community foundation or your financial institution. If you already have a donor-advised fund that participates in DAF Direct (such as Fidelity, Schwab, and BNY Mellon), you can recommend grants to support Second Helpings directly below.
