What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible and tax-advantageous way to make a charitable donation. DAF’s allow donors to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

Five Talents gratefully accepts grants from DAFs in support of our mission to transform lives through economic empowerment. We partner with some of the largest DAF sponsor organizations and their philanthropic service teams in the United States.

Donate to Five Talents directly through Donor Advised Funds.
