DONOR-ADVISED FUND (DAF) EXAMPLE

Scenario Benefits

1. In August 2011, an investor buys 1,000 shares of POOL Corp. at $25 per share for a $25,000 investment.

2. In August 2021, the 1,000 shares are worth $475,000, or $475 per share, and the investor has an unrealized capital gain of $450,000.

3. In August 2021, the investor donates 100 of the 1,000 shares at $475, or $47,500, to a DAF.

• Investment gain: $45,000 ($47,500 - $2,500)

• Estimated capital gains taxes avoided: $9,000 (20% x $45,000)

• Taxes Due: $0

• Tax deduction: $47,500

• Able to distribute the full $47,500 – give what you want, when you want

• Not a private foundation, so no 5% annual distribution rule
