More on donor-advised funds
A donor-advised fund succession plan is an important part of your estate planning and charitable legacy. It outlines instructions for your DAF sponsor on how to manage or distribute the assets remaining in your fund after your passing, ensuring that your philanthropic goals continue to be fulfilled.
The sponsoring organization of your DAF can assist you with your succession plan, which may include:
- Directing the remaining balance in your fund after your lifetime to be donated to Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest and/or other charities.
- Appointing a loved one as a successor advisor to take over management of your DAF, allowing them to make charitable contributions to the causes they care about.
- Establishing an endowment and recommending that assets be distributed over time to one or more charities.
