Support Black Kids Swim Through
Your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF)

• It’s the quickest-growing way to give in the U.S. because it’s easy and offers SEVERAL tax benefits.

• Start Your Fund: You can create a DAF by donating cash, stocks, or other non-cash assets (such as real estate) to a fund sponsor (like Fidelity or a local community foundation). You get a tax deduction right away.
• Grow Your Donation: Your donation can grow tax-free in the fund until you decide which charities you’d like to support.

• Simple to Manage: Track your giving easily with less paperwork.
• Plan for the Future: Use your DAF to plan your legacy, supporting causes you care about even after you’re gone.
