Why does Arts of Life accept DAFs?
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) allow donors to make a charitable contribution to their giving account for an immediate tax deduction and then distribute the donated funds to charitable organizations with their desired timing and allotment. The immediate tax benefit and scheduling flexibility make DAFs a smart and impactful way to give to Arts of Life. While DAF donations are not new to Arts of Life, we hope this streamlined process makes donating with DAFs even easier for our generous supporters.
Are stock and cryptocurrency donations tax deductible?
Yes! Stock and cryptocurrency donations are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give to charity. By choosing to donate stock or crypto directly, you may be eligible to significantly reduce what you would otherwise owe in capital gains taxes. As with any tax-related questions, be sure to consult with a qualified, professional tax advisor. Get more information about lowering your stock and crypto taxes.
