Gifting to the SDSU Alumni & Foundation through your donor advised fund (DAF) is a simple and efficient way to make an impact at South Dakota State.

Bunching your giving through a DAF can allow for major tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite charities at the time that’s right for you. 

Giving from a donor advised fund 

A DAF that you have established through your financial advisor or local community foundation can benefit any number of charitable organizations in a given year. Within this giving option, you recommend a grant or recurring grants to generously support the causes you care about most.
