Donor-advised fund (DAF) gifts may look like ordinary donations, but the accounting rules matter!

Watch the full video now to learn how to record DAF gifts correctly, handle restrictions and pledges, and avoid costly nonprofit accounting mistakes.

10/28/2026

One of the simplest ways to boost DAF gifts is by letting donors know that you welcome them, teaching them the ins and outs of giving through a DAF, and regularly engaging with those who already contribute. Organizations that promote DAF giving tend to discover a valuable stream of charitable support that might otherwise remain overlooked.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a great option if you want to provide immediate support to charities you’re already familiar with. On the other hand, a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is ideal if you’d like to make a contribution now but take your time deciding when and where to distribute the grants. Many donors find that using both can be quite beneficial.

Your donor paid $150 for a gala ticket. Can they deduct all $150? 🤔

Nope! If they got a $50 dinner, only $100 is deductible. That's a quid pro quo contribution, and if the payment is over $75, you must tell the donor in writing.
