Establishing a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) can help simplify your giving. DAFs allow individuals to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction and then make grants to nonprofits at any time.
Why do people choose to make a DAF?
Mazimized Tax Benefits: DAFs allow for an immediate tax deduction and contributions can be invested and grow tax free.
Contribute wide range of assets: Particularly advantageous for appreciated assets, DAFs can accept cash, stock, and crypto.
Flexible options for distribution: Decide when, what, and where to give on an ongoing basis with limited distribution requirements.
Familial legacy of philanthropy: Can be an easy-to-establish option to allow multiple family members to engage in charitable legacy.

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $100,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions.
What should I consider when giving from a QCD?
Overflow can process all whole shares of publicly traded stock, including from retirement accounts (401K, 403b, Roth IRA, and Traditional IRA). However, donors will incur a tax penalty if they remove retirement funds early (before age 59.5) and some employer-sponsored retirement plans will not allow early fund distribution at all. Because of these restrictions and potential penalties, we highly recommend consulting your tax professional before donating these types of assets. If you decide to proceed, Overflow’s concierge services will work you directly to facilitate the transfer of these assets.
