How to open and use a donor-advised fund
When you partner with Vanguard Charitable, opening and using a DAF is a straightforward process.
Opening a Vanguard Charitable DAF can take as little as 15 minutes online. After you make your initial contribution, you can continue to grow your DAF balance through charitable investments and by contributing stocks, cash, or other assets. Remember that all of your contributions are immediately tax-deductible.
As your account potentially grows via your preferred investment allocation, you can recommend grants to your favorite charities through our user-friendly portal, knowing that your giving is making a substantial impact.
