Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
The donor establishes this fund and can then gift cash, stock, real estate or business interests into the fund. Part, or all, of the gift can be deducted from the donor’s taxes in the year of the gift. Inside the DAF, funds grow tax free. At any time, the donor can make recommendations to grant money to the charity of their choice. Any remaining funds left in the DAF at death can be granted out immediately, or over a specified period of time.
Stock Donations
AFM gladly accepts donations of publicly traded stock. A stock donation instruction sheet is available here or by request from AFM’s accounting department at securities@afm-us.org.
Donated stock will be sold upon receipt to reduce market risk exposure. The Director of Accounting will process and record all stock gifts. Donors will receive an acknowledgment within 10 days that includes the stock name and number of shares donated.
Donors are responsible for determining the value of their gift. Any trade commissions, fees, or short-term holding losses related to the donation will be charged to the receiving fund.
Planned Giving / Bequests
While all are called to offer tithes and offerings during our lifetime, some are able to give a significant gift through estate planning. AFM invites you to consider a legacy gift. Download our planned giving form and email it to finances@afm-us.org for more information.

Other ways to give
AFM recommends consulting with a financial advisor to review whether some of the following giving strategies would be worth consideration. For tax questions, please contact a licensed accountant or CPA. Click here for the document version.
Gifting a Life Insurance Policy
In addition to making a charity the beneficiary on a new/existing life insurance policy, individuals can gift a life policy to a charity or donor advised fund (referenced above). The present value of the insurance policy can be deducted immediately on the donor’s taxes and future premium payments may be deductible for the donor.
Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
Drafted by an attorney, the CRT is an efficient way for the donor to receive an immediate tax deduction on assets gifted into the trust and income for the remainder of the grantor’s life. The “remainder” of the trust is left as a legacy to charity when the grantor dies. Inside the CRT, funds can be invested for tax-free growth. Usually, the donor prefers to gift highly appreciated assets into the trust, as most/all of the gains on the gift will not be taxed.
Charitable Lead Trust (CLT)
Drafted by an attorney, CLTs function inversely to CRTs. A large gift can be made into a CLT. Then for a set period of time, or until the grantor’s death, income is distributed to charity. At the death of the grantor, the remaining funds in the CLT are left to loved ones, potentially reducing estate or gift tax consequences.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)
For individuals making “required minimum distributions” from an IRA (usually age 70.5+), a QCD is a direct gift to a specific charity from the individual’s retirement account. The gift satisfies the required minimum distribution dollar-for-dollar. No tax is owed on the distribution and the individual cannot claim a tax deduction on the gift.
