Donor advised fund

You can quickly and easily recommend a gift for Lyric from your donor-advised fund through DAF  Direct. DAF Direct makes it easier to support your favorite charities by giving directly from your donor-advised fund. 

What is a DAF? 
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a centralized charitable account. It allows charitably-incline individuals, families, and businesses to make tax-deductible charitable donations of cash, publicly-traded stock and in some cases, certain illiquid assets, to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program.
