Donor Advised Funds

APsaA accepts gifts from Donor Advised Funds & charitable giving accounts.

Do you have a donor advised fund (DAF) with a community foundation or charitable giving account? You may not realize APsaA is an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and you can support psychoanalysis through a single or by setting up a recurring gift.

If you are familiar with donor advised funds, you know they are basically a charitable investment account. The only purpose of this account is to support charitable organizations near to your heart.

Donor-advised funds with financial institutions like Fidelity, Vanguard and others are the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicle in the United States. They are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to support your charitable causes.

We hope you consider directing a DAF distribution to APsaA. Perhaps you are already using your DAF to support your college, graduate school or favorite charity. Now you can add APsaA to your list.

Here is how a Donor Advised Fund works:

• You contribute cash, securities or other assets to a donor advised fund at a public charity, like a community foundation or financial institution like Fidelity Charitable.

•Generally speaking, you may take an immediate tax deduction, depending on the type of assets used to create the DAF.

•You do not have to make an immediate decision on the charitable contributions from your DAF. Your funds are invested for tax-free growth and in the future, you can recommend grants to an IRS-qualified public charity like APsaA.

• Typically, you can name your DAF anything you wish and many people name it after their family.

• Among the assets used to start a DAF are securities, mutual fund shares, private equity and hedge fund interest, real estate, privately held C-corp and S-corp shares.
