Over the last few years, American Endowment Foundation(AEF) has added content to the Education and Resources section of the Donor page on our website to help our donors. The addition of this content resulted from questions from advisors whose clients needed help once they established their donor advised fund (DAF) account, and in many cases even before they set one up.

Feel free to read and share these brief columns that have been written by experts from the leading philanthropic advisory firms. These firms are part of our referral program and help clients plan their charitable giving but do not provide investment, tax, or legal advice.
