DAF and "family foundation" are two alternate things. The latter is much more lawyer-intensive.

The DAF can be done quickly for the tax writeoff. Then you follow up with family foundation set up properly

Yes, but if you have a $100m tax bill, you would need to donate more than that to offset the taxes. Assuming a 33% tax rate, you would need to put $300m into a foundation to zero out $100m in taxes.

Is this legal?

Yes

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it. Lol.

I definitely can’t afford that!

anyone who owns stocks should consider using a DAF. The only people who shouldn't consider using a DAF are the people who either dont own stocks or never give charity.
