A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable giving vehicle that enables donors to make a charitable donation, receive an immediate tax benefit, and recommend gifts to Canadian charities over time. Donor-advised funds can be established at a number of public foundations, including community foundations and those established by some major financial institutions.
As a registered charity, Carleton University is eligible to receive gifts from DAFs, and we are deeply grateful for the many generous contributions received from DAFs over the years in support of students, academic programs, and research initiatives.
When recommending a gift, your DAF administrator will request Carleton University’s legal name and charitable registration information:
Carleton University | Charitable Registration #: 11883 8937 RR0001
If you are making a gift through your DAF, we encourage you to provide us with personal contact information so that we may express our appreciation directly rather than through the DAF foundation. All your charitable dealings with Carleton are managed in a way to protect your privacy.
If you would like to discuss making a gift from your Donor-advised-fund, please contact us at plannedgiving@carleton.ca.
