Make a Lasting Impact with a Gift from Your DAF

Intentional Giving

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to set aside charitable gifts in one place, receive potential tax advantages, and then give when your heart feels led. When supporting Water Street through your DAF, 100% of your gift to goes toward supporting Christ-centered care and a path forward for individuals and families experiencing poverty and homelessness in Lancaster County.

Many people choose a DAF because it brings all their charitable planning under one account, making generosity easier and more intentional. A DAF also offers unique benefits like privacy, the ability to involve family in decision-making, and opportunities for your invested assets to grow tax-free over time, increasing your overall giving potential.
