Donor Advised Fund

Small image of Johns Hopkins Donor Advised Fund information sheetA Donor Advised Fund (DAF) simplifies your giving to Johns Hopkins and other charitable organizations by providing a single, centralized source for your philanthropy.

If you already have a DAF, you can:

  • Recommend a grant to Johns Hopkins for immediate impact by providing your fund administrator with our tax ID number.
  • Designate Johns Hopkins to receive all or any part of the remaining balance of your DAF through your DAF succession plan. Matched with an outright gift through the Johns Hopkins Legacy Match.

If you do not yet have a DAF, you can establish a Johns Hopkins Donor Advised Fund and take advantage of these potential benefits:

  • An income tax deduction for the full amount of the gift to establish your DAF account.
  • A charitable legacy without the costs and complicated rules for a private foundation.
  • Johns Hopkins’ expertise in fund distribution, investment, and administration.

To establish your Johns Hopkins Donor Advised Fund, please review the Policies and Guidelines and complete a DAF Application Form.

Questions? Contact Johns Hopkins Office of Gift Planning at 410-516-7954 or [email protected].

Why I Give

“I think it’s important to stand in for them, to be their representative, their voice, and to give back in their place,” says Mayer Warner Martin of the patients served by the Johns Hopkins Community Psychiatry Program.
