The tax bill included a big win for charities: a charitable deduction for everyday Americans who don\u2019t itemize \u2014 $1,000 for single people and $2,000 for married couples. But the charitable deduction for non-itemizers is not available if the gift goes to a DAF.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry to see that because I thought that we had begun to see some democratization of donor-advised funds,\u201d says Laura MacDonald, founder of the Benefactor Group<\/a>, a fundraising consulting firm. Excluding DAFs from the tax benefit, she says, reduces the likelihood that small-dollar donors will give to them and codifies \u201cDAFs as a tool of elite donors.\u201d<\/p>\n

As DAFs have become a more popular giving vehicle, there has been a growing push to encourage more everyday donors to use them. But the new tax changes add a wrinkle to that. It\u2019s hard to know for sure how the tax law will affect taxpayers before it goes into effect next year, but many experts predict it will change how donors use DAFs \u2014 with the savviest taxpayers switching between itemization to donate to DAFs one year and taking the standard deduction and giving directly to charity other years.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

Advantages for Itemizing Donors<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Donor-advised funds are giving vehicles that let account holders take a charitable deduction immediately when they put money into the fund, assuming they itemize their taxes. However, there is no timeline for when DAF holders have to distribute those funds to charities. DAFs have long been used by the wealthy to get tax benefits. In recent years, some sponsoring organizations have pushed to make DAFs a giving vehicle for small-dollar donors as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOrganizations like Groundswell that are creating these workplace donor-advised funds so people can do payroll deduction to fuel a DAF and use that for their everyday giving \u2014 that\u2019s going to be more difficult now because those gifts are not going to be tax-deductible,\u201d MacDonald says.<\/p>\n

    If DAFs had not been excluded, \u201cI think we could have seen an explosion in DAF usage among everyday donors,\u201d says Mitch Stein, head of strategy at Chariot, a company that offers a DAF payment tool for charities.<\/p>\n

    With DAFs on the cutting room floor, it\u2019s not entirely clear how the new deduction for non-itemizers will affect donors, says Danielle Vance-McMullen, an associate professor at DePaul University who studies DAFs and donor behavior.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe don\u2019t know what the results will be, partly because there are two forces happening at the same time,\u201d she says. Those forces are the increase in awareness of DAFs and the new law that gives a tax advantage to non-itemizers if the money is given directly to charity. \u201cIt could work out in either direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Jeff Williams, a co-founder of the DAF Research Collaborative, suspects the change will not affect small-dollar, non-itemizing donors who use DAFs because there is no change for them. There is no tax advantage in DAF giving for non-itemizers in either the old or the new law. Many everyday donors who have DAFs, he says, are \u201cbundling\u201d \u2014 in other words, saving enough money for it to be worthwhile to donate a big sum to a DAF and itemize their taxes.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cThe bundling behavior \u2014 I really don\u2019t see it affected,\u201d says Williams, who is the director of the Johnson Center Community Data and Research Lab at Grand Valley State University. \u201cIf anything, I see it a little bit supercharged under the new bill.\u201d<\/p>\n

    For example, he thinks people who bundle because of a wealth event \u2014 like a bonus or stock market gains \u2014 will continue to give to DAFs in those years when it makes sense but will also give directly to charities in years they take the standard deduction. Stein, at Chariot, agrees.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYou could see some people want to do their first $1,000 or $2,000 direct to a nonprofit and then their other giving in their DAF,\u201d Stein says. \u201cI don\u2019t see it dampening DAF usage because there hasn\u2019t been a tax benefit for the past eight years. And we\u2019ve still seen growth in everyday donors using it.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Mark Ottoni-Wilhelm is a professor at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University who regularly does research on how tax law affects charitable giving<\/a>. He estimates that 10 to 20 percent of taxpayers who take the standard deduction are giving a bit more than $2,000 a year to charity. Under the new tax law, they\u2019ll likely \u201cdrop back to $2,000″ to get the full tax benefit.<\/p>\n

    If Stein and Williams are right, those types of families might take the additional money they were giving and bundle it into a DAF contribution and itemize in a future tax year instead.<\/p>\n

    2025 Bump<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

    Because the tax law doesn\u2019t take effect until 2026, many who want to take advantage of this year\u2019s itemizing rules are expected to give big this year<\/a>. And a significant share of that giving could go to DAFs.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThere could be a bump in the same way that we saw a bump at the end of 2017 before the Tax Cut and Jobs Act took effect in 2018,\u201d Williams says. \u201cSo I expect a bump of money into DAFs. It\u2019ll probably be noticeable.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Based on his research, money that goes into DAFs is often distributed in three to five years. <\/p>\n

    The new law introduced more complexity into the tax code. Starting next year, donors who itemize will need to give 0.5 percent of their adjusted gross income before they can take a charitable deduction, and deductions will be capped at 35 percent. This new intricacy could have undesirable consequences.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s added some complications into the math of giving,\u201d Williams says. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what I\u2019m nervous about: People throw up their hands and say, \u2018Eh, forget it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

    The good news is that donors tend to use their DAFs for strategic giving, says Vance-McMullen, meaning they\u2019re thinking about their long-term goals and are often getting advice from tax planners. And despite the fact that the tax changes may affect how donors choose to fund their DAFs, it\u2019s unlikely to affect money leaving DAFs.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t think the tax changes are going to change how people grant out of their DAFs,\u201d Vance-McMullen says. \u201cMost people are operating with the heart strongly and somewhat with the head in terms of their charitable giving. We sometimes overestimate the effect of these tax incentives for people\u2019s giving. People want to give in the smartest way possible, but their overall impulse to give usually comes from the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
