What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a philanthropic giving vehicle like a charitable savings account. It provides an immediate tax benefit to you, and allows you to easily support UGM and other charities of your choice over time. Generally, you can invest cash and appreciated securities, as well as other assets that UGM may not be able to accept as a direct gift.
How do donor-advised funds work?
DAFs can be easily set up through your financial institution or a community foundation to serve as a flexible charitable giving vehicle. For more information on how to establish a DAF, contact your community foundation or financial advisor.
Why are donor-advised funds used?
Note: Individual situations vary, so donors should consult their advisors.

Qualified Charitable Distributions
Donate up to $108,000 per tax year directly from an IRA.
If you’re 70½ or older, you can donate up to $108,000 per tax year directly from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to charities like Community Passageways.
How to make an IRA qualified charitable distribution
Step 1: Contact your IRA administrator
Instruct your administrator to transfer funds to the charity you designate, like Community Passageways.
If you'd like to make a QCD gift, your financial institution should make the check out to "Community Passageways" and identify you as the donor by name and address.
They can mail the check to:
Community Passageways
PO Box 28685
Seattle, WA 98118
Step 2: Let us Know about your Gift!
Help us credit your gift and thank you by having your IRA administrator include your full name and mailing address on the gift. Also, have your administrator note that the transfer is an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution. We do not encourage restricted gifts.
If your financial institution cannot include your full name and address with the check, please send us an email so that we can identify your donation when it arrives.
What are the IRA charitable rollover rules?
Here's how a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) works:
You must be 70-1/2 or older at the time of gifting your IRA to charity.
You may distribute an amount, up to $108,000 in a calendar year, to one or more public charities, so long as it is completed by December 31 of that year.
Your IRA administrator must make the distribution directly to the charity, or you may write a check to the charity from your IRA checkbook. Funds that are withdrawn by you and then contributed do not qualify.
Benefits of making an IRA gift
QCDs count toward your required minimum distribution for the year. If you have to take your required minimum distribution but you don't want or need the funds, QCDs are a good way to distribute the amount out of the IRA. As an added benefit, you'll avoid paying income tax on your gross income up to $108,000.
