What We Will Cover:
Maximizing Impact with Donor-Advised Funds
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) 101:
A clear, jargon-free breakdown of how DAFs operate, allowing you to contribute assets, potentially qualify for a current-year tax deduction, invest the funds for tax-free growth, and grant them to your favorite charities on your own timeline.
Navigating 2026 Tax Changes via "Strategic Bunching":
How the new 0.5% AGI floor and deduction limitations are changing the math on charitable giving, and why combining multiple years of contributions into a single DAF can help donors efficiently clear these new hurdles and optimize their overall tax footprint.
Unlocking Appreciated and Complex Assets:
Step-by-step strategies for contributing non-cash assets (such as stocks, real estate, and crypto) directly to a DAF. This approach can help you avoid recognizing capital gains taxes on appreciated assets, potentially boosting your total giving power by up to 20% compared to selling the asset and donating the after-tax proceeds.
Debunking the "Saddled Cash" Myth:
A data-driven look at current distribution trends showing that DAF payout rates (currently averaging over 25%) consistently exceed the 5% mandatory minimum distribution requirement of traditional private foundations, efficiently getting money to the front lines.
Streamlining the Giving Experience:
Utilizing modern tools like "Pay with DAF" buttons and digital integration to reduce administrative burdens, streamline donor workflows, and easily establish recurring support.
Legacy and Multi-Generational Planning:
How to properly structure a DAF to name successor advisors or charitable beneficiaries, transforming a transactional tax strategy into a lasting family legacy.

Registration
Assumes the following:
- Initial investment of $1MM.
- Farther’s tax alpha is calculated by adding cash equal to 1% of the previous month’s benchmark (non-tax-aware) portfolio value, while ensuring both tax-loss harvesting (TLH) and benchmark portfolios receive identical contributions.
- Tax rates used are 40.8% for short-term gains (under one year) and 23.8% for long-term gains (over one year).
- Harvested losses generate immediate tax credits that are reinvested.
- The process involves harvesting losses, blocking wash-sale securities, selling overweight positions to restore portfolio balance, purchasing new positions, and repeating the cycle when those new positions later decline in value.
- Calculations assume a 10 year time horizon and 8% average market return.
- 2.55% additional return received from tax-loss-harvesting based on Farther Asset Management research. This assumes there will be portfolio fluctuations including losses within the portfolio (losses can cause the value of the portfolio to be less).
- 0.27% additional return for tax-aware investing in tax-efficient accounts (when available) based on Farther Asset Management research. This also varies based on individual tax rates.
- 0.46% additional return due to inclusion of alternative investments, based on Conversus Stepstone Private Markets research.
- Additional 0.35% for regular rebalancing of the portfolio to achieve the desired allocation, based on Kitces Daily Review: “Finding The Optimal Rebalancing Frequency – Time Horizons Vs Tolerance Bands”.
- The subtraction of a 0.10% portfolio management fee.
- This does not include any transaction costs or advisory fee. A model fee should be used if applicable. The additional fee will cause the portfolio value to be lower.
