What is a donor-advised fund?
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a simple, tax-efficient way to support the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP Mission Tradition) in 2026. By contributing to a DAF, you can receive an immediate tax deduction, grow your donation tax-free, and recommend grants to our mission over time. Your generosity helps us educate children, support seminarians, and provide hope to underserved communities worldwide.
Benefits of Giving Through a DAF
- Simplicity: The DAF sponsor handles all record-keeping, disbursements, and tax receipts.
- Tax Efficiency: Receive an immediate tax deduction for contributions (cash, appreciated securities, real estate, or cryptocurrency). Investment growth is tax-free, and donating appreciated assets can eliminate capital gains taxes.
- Flexibility: Choose when and how much to grant to FSSP Mission Tradition or other IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charities.
- Family Legacy: Involve family members in philanthropy and create a lasting legacy of giving.
- Privacy: Opt for anonymous giving if desired.
- No Start-Up Costs: Establish a DAF with no initial fees, though minimum contributions may apply, depending on the sponsor
- NOTE: Some DAF sponsors may charge administrative fees, which vary by provider. Please consult your DAF sponsor for details

Getting Started
- An individual or entity makes an irrevocable contribution to a sponsoring charitable organization to establish a donor-advised fund. This person becomes a donor-advisor.
- The sponsoring organization allocates the charitable contribution to the particular donor-advisor’s DAF. The donor-advisor has the opportunity to name the DAF (e.g. The John Doe Fund).
- The donor-advisor retains advisory privileges over the investment allocation for the DAF. Since the assets in the DAF belong to the sponsoring organization, any investment growth is tax free. The investment options available vary by sponsoring organization.
- The donor-advisor has advisory privileges over the disbursements made from the DAF. The
disbursements are recommended by the donor-advisor, but must meet the grant making criteria of the sponsoring organization. Typically, disbursements may only be recommended to IRS-qualified public charities exclusively for charitable purposes. Additionally, the donor may not receive any more than incidental benefits as a result of the disbursement. - Once the sponsoring organization approves the recommended disbursement, the grant is made to the qualified charitable organization.
What is a qualified charitable distribution?
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution of funds from your IRA directly to a qualified charitable organization, such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. Because the gift goes directly to the charity without passing through your hands, the dollar amount of the gift may be excluded from your taxable income up to a maximum of $111,000 annually, with some exceptions. Please consult your tax advisor for information regarding your specific exceptions. To learn more about QCDs, please visit IRS.gov
Who can make a qualified charitable distribution?
QCDs can be made by IRA owners who are age 70 1/2 or older. QCDs made prior to the age you are required to take a minimum distribution from your retirement assets (pre-Required Minimum Distribution QCDs) will not reduce or otherwise impact future Required Minimum Distribution. Your tax advisor can provide additional information on your particular situation.
Many individuals who are required to take money from their IRA but do not need it for living expenses have chosen to make QCDs from their IRAs to support the missions of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. This may make sense for you too!
How do I make a qualified charitable distribution to support the missions of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter?
Please consult your financial advisor to see if this is a good option for you.
Your QCD must be made directly from your IRA custodian to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter on your behalf. Each financial institution has its own process for initiating a qualified charitable distribution. Account holders can sometimes find it challenging to access the right information. Several retirement plan administrators require you to use their distribution forms and comply with other requirements, so follow your financial institution’s forms and procedures to ensure you receive any potential tax benefits associated with this gift.
We have provided an IRA QCD form for your convenience below. Once the form is completed and signed, send it to your IRA trustee to request your distribution.
