Donor Advised Fund

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support Longwood University. You can contribute cash, stock, or other assets to your DAF, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to Longwood and other charities over time. 

Benefits of a donor advised fund:

• Create a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving
• Benefit from a tax- and cost-efficient alternative to a private foundation
• Receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction in the year you contribute

How to give to Longwood University through a DAF

You can support Longwood through your donor advised fund in a few simple steps:

• Make an irrevocable gift of cash, stock, or other assets to establish or add to your DAF at a sponsoring organization.
• The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
• Recommend grants from your DAF to Longwood University at any time.

Do you have a DAF to liquidate?

We are eager to work with you to develop an Endowment Agreement that meets your philanthropic goals and allows you to streamline your giving while simplifying your tax reporting.
