Giving from Your Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
Donor advised funds (DAFs) are an increasingly popular way of making charitable contributions. This simple and tax-efficient giving vehicle enables individuals to make a contribution to the DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants from the fund to their favorite charities over time. If you have a DAF, you can recommend grants directly to support the Florida Springs Council. Provide your financial institution with the following information: Florida Springs Council is a 501(c)3 charity, tax ID# 81-2889063.
