The Benefits of Using a Donor Advised Fund to Support Mental Health - Erika's Lighthouse

Erika’s Lighthouse is a nonprofit organization that provides free, donor-funded depression education programming to teens and educators. Our mission is to raise awareness about adolescent depression, promote good mental health, and empower teens. A donor advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to make a tax-deductible donation to a qualified charity today and then recommend grants to that charity over time. Erika’s Lighthouse has specific information about making a DAF gift on their Ways to Give page. DAFs offer a number of benefits for donors, including:

• Tax benefits: Your donation to a DAF is tax-deductible, just like a donation to a traditional charity.
• Flexibility: You can recommend grants to any qualified charity, not just the one you originally donated to.
• Convenience: DAFs make it easy to manage your charitable giving. You can make donations online or by mail, and you can track your giving history in one place.
