Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are charitable investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations like Chicago Children’s Museum. DAFs allow donors to make charitable contributions to their DAF, receive immediate tax deductions, and recommend grants from the fund over time. DAFs are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States as one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give.

Benefits of donating through a DAF:

• Immediate tax deductions

• A convenient way to donate

If you already have a donor-advised fund that participates in DAF Direct, you can recommend grants to support Chicago Children’s Museum through the DAF Direct window on this page.
