A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a simple, flexible, and tax-efficient way to support Zephyr Symphony while also managing your charitable giving. Think of a DAF as a charitable investment account for the sole purpose of supporting organizations you care about. You contribute to your fund—often receiving an immediate tax deduction—and then recommend grants to charities over time.

By designating a gift from your Donor Advised Fund to Zephyr Symphony, you help sustain our music-making and ensure that artistry, education, and inspiration remain at the heart of our mission. Whether your gift supports a specific program, an upcoming performance, or our general operations, your generosity through a DAF helps carry the music forward.

DAFs are especially appealing for donors who want to make a charitable impact while simplifying their giving. They allow you to:

Enjoy tax benefits at the time of your contribution to the fund.

Consolidate giving into one account for ease and clarity.

Support multiple charities at your own pace.

Build a legacy of generosity that reflects your values.

If you already have a DAF with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, or another sponsoring organization, you can easily recommend a grant to Zephyr Symphony today.

Your donor advised fund gift is more than a contribution—it’s an investment in the cultural life of our community and in the music that will inspire generations to come.
