Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a centralized vehicle for charitable giving that makes it easy for donors to dedicate funds to support their favorite nonprofit organization. It also provides an operationally convenient and tax-efficient method for donors to manage their charitable giving.
You can make a gift now from your DAF if your DAF is with one of the financial institutions in the DAF Direct "Please select" drop down below. Once you select your financial institution you will be prompted to log into your DAF. There are no fees from DAF Direct.

IRA DISTRIBUTION
You can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) by making a Qualified Charitable Distribution directly to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Palm Beach and Martin Counties and lower your federal tax bill.
