Donor Advised Funds


At National University, we are committed to providing accessible, affordable education to students from all walks of life. By contributing via a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), you can play a pivotal role in supporting our mission while enjoying a flexible, tax-efficient way to manage your charitable giving.

What are Donor Advised Funds?

A DAF is a popular and tax-efficient way to manage your charitable donations. It allows you to support the causes that matter most to you by recommending grants to organizations, such as the National University Foundation, from an account you’ve established with a sponsoring organization.

How You Can Support National University Using a DAF

If you already have a DAF, you can donate to the National University Foundation to support scholarships, faculty research, and other vital programs that enhance the educational experience of our students. By recommending a grant, you are making a meaningful impact on the future of education.
