Fuel advances in innovative research and compassionate care with a gift from your donor advised fund.

Many supporters of Fred Hutch Cancer Center use donor advised funds (DAFs) to maximize their tax benefits as well as their impact on our mission.

What is a donor-advised fund (DAF)?

A DAF is a charitable giving account that lets donors make a tax-deductible contribution and then recommend grants to nonprofits over time. The funds can be invested and grow tax-free, offering flexibility in when and how donations are made. It’s a simple, cost-effective alternative to setting up a private foundation. DAFs are managed by sponsoring organizations, such as community foundations or financial institutions.

Here are three powerful ways to use your DAF:

Please support our mission: Use your DAF to help address our most urgent priorities. Whether enabling our researchers to follow where the science leads quickly, answer emerging questions, or develop proof of concept for new ideas, there are many opportunities for impact to explore at Fred Hutch.

Encourage philanthropy in your family: Help your loved ones understand why the work of Fred Hutch means so much to you and involve them in your giving process.

Create your legacy: Make Fred Hutch the final beneficiary of your DAF to help advance cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and cures for generations to come.

Your Impact

“The pain and uncertainty of cancer touches many families, including our own. We donate to Fred Hutch because we believe its groundbreaking research is vitally important in discovering effective treatments and improving patient outcomes. Using a DAF allows us to maximize the value of our donations as we can use appreciated assets to fund our annual giving plan in a very tax efficient way. An additional DAF benefit is that we are able to establish our legacy gifting plans in advance but can easily modify them if our philanthropic priorities and financial goals change.”
