NEW YORK (Money Magazine)
If you have several thousand dollars you'd like to set aside for charity, a donor-advised fund is a great idea, says Northbrook, Ill., financial planner Steve O'Hara.
You get an immediate tax break for putting money in a DAF, but you can take your time -- years, if you want -- deciding which nonprofits get any funds. Meanwhile, investments in the DAF grow tax-free.

You can open an account at firms such as Fidelity and Schwab, or at community foundations like the Chicago Community Trust; the initial minimum is usually $5,000 or $10,000.
Potential drawbacks are few. Contributions to DAFs are irrevocable; for smaller accounts, investment choices are usually limited. And some community foundations restrict grants to a geographic area.
