What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

Many Christians want to be generous, but also strategic about how they give. A donor-advised fund (DAF) offers a clear and practical way to do both.

A donor-advised fund (such as Barnabas Foundation’s Stewards Fund) is like a charitable giving account that simplifies giving to all your favorite causes.

You can contribute cash, stock, real estate, or other assets to a single online giving account. Receive an immediate tax deduction at the time of your gift. Then, recommend grants to your church, favorite ministries, and other charities in the future, on your own schedule.

You’ll save time and hassles through centralized giving. Rather than writing separate checks or giving stocks to multiple organizations throughout the year, juggling receipts and racing the year-end clock for tax purposes, you can accomplish it all from one place.

One account.
One source for receipts.
Unlimited generosity, distributed over time as the Lord leads.

The Stewards Fund: A Christian Donor-Advised Fund

Unlike other donor-advised funds, Barnabas Foundation’s Stewards Fund is designed with a Christ-centered purpose.

The Stewards Fund helps you steward what God has entrusted to you – wisely, generously, and in alignment with your faith and values

You can give to both Christian and secular organizations from the Stewards Fund, as long as your gift is not for a mission or project in conflict with Barnabas Foundation’s Statement of Faith or principles and values.

You can also support churches and other faith-led ministries that some secular foundations will no longer allow you to fund, giving you freedom that many other DAF providers simply cannot offer.
