DONOR ADVISED FUNDS (DAFs)
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a powerful way to manage your charitable giving and maximize your impact. By recommending a grant from your DAF to Panther Partners, you can support our mission directly while enjoying immediate tax benefits. You can also be eligible for certain tax benefits by establishing a DAF. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.

DAF FAQ
-
Per IRS regulations, DAF grants cannot be used to pay for memberships, gala tickets, or auction items where a personal benefit is received. Please contact our Treasurer at treasurer@pantherpartners.com if you have questions regarding the eligibility of your gift.
-
DAF sponsors often don't send us donor information. If you recommend a grant for us, please check the box to 'share my name and address' with us, or send a quick email to treasurer@pantherpartners.com so we can properly thank you and keep you updated on your gift’s impact.
-
Because you received your tax deduction at the time you contributed to your Donor-Advised Fund, Panther Partners will provide a letter of acknowledgment for your records, but we will not issue a separate tax receipt for DAF grants.
