Donor Advised Fund Donations

Donating through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a smart and easy way to support KBCS and maximize the impact of your gift.

What is a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)?

A Donor Advised Fund is a charitable giving account where you can contribute assets (cash, stock, or securities) and then recommend grants to nonprofits like KBCS. It’s a flexible way to donate and potentially receive tax benefits.

Why Give to KBCS Through a DAF?

Tax Benefits:

Contributions to a DAF are tax-deductible in the year you give. If you donate appreciated assets like stocks, you can avoid capital gains taxes while supporting KBCS.

Simplified Giving:

With a DAF, you can make a single contribution and direct funds to KBCS whenever you choose—no need for multiple transactions or checks.

Maximize Your Impact:

Funding a DAF can help you streamline your giving and increase your charitable contributions over time, all while supporting the ongoing work of KBCS.

How to Donate via DAF

Contact Your DAF Provider:
