Donor-Advised Funds

Make a DAF Donation

Support the field of Jewish Studies through your Donor-Advised Fund.

Consider recommending a grant to the Association for Jewish Studies through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) sponsor today. Your gift helps sustain the world's largest professional organization for Jewish Studies scholars — supporting emerging researchers, funding fellowships, connecting scholars across institutions, and sharing Jewish Studies with the wider public.


What is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a tax-advantaged charitable giving account for individuals, families, or businesses to support the nonprofits they care about most. Donations are made to the fund, and grants are then distributed to recommended nonprofit organizations.
