Make a Donor-Advised Fund Gift

A donor-advised fund (DAF) allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate income-tax deduction, and then recommend grants from the fund over time.

A DAF is like a charitable savings account: You contribute to the fund as frequently as you like and then recommend grants to your favorite charity when you’re ready.

You can give to Ranger Legacy Foundation from your DAF account directly on our website from hundreds of DAF providers including Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, and more.

This type of giving program provides you with the flexibility to support Ranger Legacy through Ranger Legacy Foundation while enjoying some favorable tax benefits. It's a great way to simplify your charitable giving while helping to share the heart and soul of what it means to be a Ranger.

Your support makes the Ranger Legacy Center come to life

When you recommend a gift to Ranger Legacy Foundaiton through your donor-advised fund, you’re providing the crucial funding to build the Ranger Legacy Center.

Ranger Legacy Foundation’s purpose is to share the heart and soul of what it means to be a Ranger and to honor Rangers in perpetuity by means of a Ranger Legacy Center that provides a forum for the preservation and elevation of the iconic Ranger way of life..

Enjoy the tax benefits of a DAF while helping preserve Ranger legacy

DAFs allow you to avoid the administrative and legal burdens of forming a private foundation while preserving the joys of charitable giving.

Your DAF contributions are immediately tax-deductible, and any investment growth in the DAF is tax-free. It’s also easy to donate long-term appreciated securities, which eliminates capital gains taxes and allows you to support multiple charities from one block of stock. You receive one tax receipt.

DAFs are flexible because the timing of your tax deduction is separate from your charitable decision-making.

The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts. The DAF manager also takes care of vetting and qualifying charities. All you have to do is dictate where to send the checks.

There are two standard fees sponsoring organizations collect from DAF holders: an administrative fee, which varies relative to the DAF balance and covers the costs of processing transactions and providing donor support, and an investment fee, which is a mutual fund fee based on how the funds are invested.

Together, these fees range from 1% to 2.5% of the DAF balance, depending on the sponsoring organization, the type of DAF, and how aggressively DAF holders choose to invest their accounts.
