Simply Your Giving
A donor advised fund (DAF) is a flexible, tax-efficient way to support Food Bank of Alaska and other causes close to your heart. Think of it as a charitable savings account that lets you recommend one-time or recurring grants—making an immediate impact today or planning future gifts over time.
You can also create a meaningful legacy by naming Food Bank of Alaska as a beneficiary for all or a portion of the fund. Or, involve your family by naming loved ones as successors to continue your tradition of giving. For more details on naming a beneficiary, contact your fund administrator.
How it Works: An Example
Samual and Janie established a $25,000 donor advised fund with a community foundation, seeking to make a lasting impact. After receiving a tax deduction for their contribution, they took their time deciding on the charities they wanted to support. Following thoughtful research, they recommended grants to Food Bank of Alaska and a local animal shelter, using the Mulcahy Fund in honor of Janie’s mother. Additionally, they named Food Bank of Alaska as the future beneficiary of any remaining balance, creating a legacy of giving.
