Change Lives with Donor-Advised Funds

Support Los Angeles Mission through your donor-advised fund (DAF). Not only will you make a life-changing difference for homeless men, women, and children — you may also reduce your tax burden!

Here we answer some of the most common questions about this new, powerful giving opportunity . . .

What is a donor-advised fund?

A DAF is an investment account that grows tax free that you can use to make charitable contributions.

How do DAFs work?

Your financial institution or fund manager will distribute a gift from your DAF in the amount you choose to your preferred charity, and you will receive the maximum tax deduction allowed by law.

How can I make a DAF gift to Los Angeles Mission?

To designate a DAF gift to the Mission, you will need to provide your fund manager with the following information:
