donor-advised funds
Maximize your impact with Bitcoin-native charitable giving through Unchained
what_is_a_donor_advised_fund
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that allows you to make an irrevocable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants to your favorite nonprofits over time.
With Bitcoin-native DAFs, you can contribute Bitcoin directly, avoiding capital gains taxes on appreciated assets while maximizing the value of your donation. The fund sponsor handles the administrative burden, including tax receipts, record-keeping, and grant distribution.
