Donor-Advised Funds
(DAF)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a tax-deductible contribution, invest those funds for potential tax-free growth, and recommend grants to nonprofit organizations over time.
Giving through a DAF offers flexibility. You can support Bridge to Türkiye Fund today, next year, or whenever you’re ready, all while maximizing the impact of your charitable giving.
