Understanding Your Giving Options

What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account managed by a sponsoring organization. Donors contribute to the account and can recommend grants to eligible nonprofit organizations over time.

If you already have a DAF, you may be able to recommend a grant to Mainspring directly through your fund provider.
