How do I set up a donor-advised fund?
In Canada, DAFs are held by public foundations, which are registered charities. Each foundation has a different mission, policies and expertise. We recommend speaking to your financial advisor about which donor-advised fund might be right for you. Once you have set up your DAF, let us know so we can thank you for your generosity.
Leaving a Legacy through your DAF
The final distribution of contributions remaining in your DAF after your lifetime can be designated when you create or update your fund. We would like to recognize you for your generosity and ensure that your gift is used as you intend, so please inform us should you update or change your end-of-life gift to include CF Canada.
We’d love to hear from you. Please connect with us at legacygiving@cysticfibrosis.ca to discuss how we can help you fulfill your legacy.
