The Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is an increasingly popular way to make a charitable gift. DAFs can provide you with immediate tax benefits while making your charitable giving easier. Here are two simple ways you can make a gift through your DAF:

• Make an outright gift now by recommending a grant to Roger Williams University.
• Create a succession plan to recommend that RWU receive all or a portion of the fund value upon the termination of the fund.

You can select the option that best suits your philanthropic and financial goals to support RWU. Just contact your Donor-Advised Fund administrator to recommend a grant to RWU or to discuss a succession plan.

If you include RWU in your plans, please let us know and be sure to use our legal name and federal tax ID.
