Donor Advised Fund Giving
What Is a Donor Advised Fund?
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account established at a sponsoring organization. Donors contribute assets to the fund and recommend grants to qualified nonprofit organizations over time. DAFs offer several benefits:
Immediate tax deduction when assets are contributed
Flexible grantmaking over time
Ability to support multiple nonprofits and causes
Simple administration compared with private foundations
Millions of donors now use DAFs to make strategic, high-impact charitable gifts.
Why Donate Through Charity Bridge Fund?
Charity Bridge Fund focuses on a critical and growing challenge: nonprofits losing federal funding for essential programs. Federal budget changes can leave nonprofits suddenly unable to sustain programs that communities depend on. We help fill that gap by connecting donors with specific nonprofit projects that need funding now. Through our platform, DAF donors can:
Support nonprofits impacted by federal funding cuts
Fund clearly defined nonprofit projects
Direct philanthropic capital where it is needed most
Track the impact of their giving

Making a grant from your donor advised fund through Charity Bridge Fund is simple. We accept grants from all major donor advised fund sponsors and community foundations. We directly connect to Fidelity Charitable, DAFGiving360 (formerly Schwab Charitable) and BNY Mellon through DAF Direct.
