Other Important Notes
• The IRS prohibits DAFs from making distributions that provide “more than incidental benefit” to a donor, like distributions toward a pre-existing pledge with Boys & Girls Clubs of the Bay & Lakes Region or distributions that give increased status.
• You cannot mix DAFs with the IRA Charitable Rollover – you must direct your IRA Charitable Rollover gift directly to a qualified charity (like Boys & Girls Clubs of the Bay & Lakes Region), not a DAF, to receive the Rollover’s benefits.
• You can designate – via your DAF’s beneficiary form – Boys & Girls Clubs of the Bay & Lakes Region for the benefit of the Clubs as the beneficiary of your remaining DAF funds following your passing. We can provide you with the appropriate beneficiary designation language if you’d like to create this kind of gift.
