What is a Donor-Advised Fund?
A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits over time.
Think of it as a charitable investment account. You contribute cash, securities, or other assets to your DAF, and those funds are invested for tax-free growth. You can then recommend grants to qualified nonprofits like the National Stuttering Association whenever you choose.
DAFs have become one of the fastest-growing charitable giving vehicles in the United States because they offer flexibility, tax advantages, and simplicity for donors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for the NSA to receive my DAF grant?
Most DAF sponsors process grants within 1-2 weeks. Some may take up to 3-4 weeks. You'll typically receive a confirmation from your DAF provider, and we'll send you an acknowledgment letter for your records.
Can I make recurring grants from my DAF?
Yes! Many DAF providers allow you to set up recurring grants on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. This is a great way to provide sustained support to the NSA.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my DAF grant?
You received your tax deduction when you contributed to your DAF. The NSA will send you an acknowledgment letter for your records, but your DAF provider's documentation serves as your tax receipt.
Can I remain anonymous when granting from my DAF?
Yes. You can choose to remain anonymous, and the NSA will only know the grant came from your DAF sponsor. However, if you'd like us to be able to thank you personally and keep you updated on our impact, please consider sharing your contact information.
Is there a minimum grant amount?
The NSA gratefully accepts grants of any size. However, your DAF provider may have minimum grant requirements (typically $50-$100). Check with your DAF sponsor for their specific policies.
